No, it was using combined functions of #declared pigments. I just tried it
again, and your method does it differently, so no, mine wasn't quite like
yours.

Err, subliminal messages using images. Hidden images the subconscious mind
picks up. Adverstisements used to use them.
BTW, I'm looking forward to your patch.

Don't know...Nathan has said he is busy with something called "life", so
probably whenever he gets spare time. It will be in my next release of
MegaPOV+, though. I only release a Mac application and the source code,
you will have to compile it yourself if you use Windows, Linux, BeOS,
etc.

The syntax is like this, you had it pretty close.
pigment {
blah-blah
warp {
displace_warp {
PATTERN+COLOR_MAP or other pigment stuff
}
}
}
Though I will probably shorten "displace_warp" to simply "displace"
before I release it. The "_warp" is a bit redundant, since it is always
used in a "warp {...}" block.

Hmm, I see...I think it would be possible to duplicate the patch with
function patterns and 3 pigment functions(one for x, y, and z). It would
be much more complex to use, though, and probably a lot slower.

Yeah, I know what subliminal messages are supposed to do...I just don't
see how they fit in with my patch. If you aren't careful, the pattern
gets scrambled beyond recognition, conscious or subconscious.
BTW, it might be interesting to apply this warp to an isosurface
function pattern used in a pigment function to see how it affects the
resulting object...did that make sense?
#declare Foo = function {pigment {function {...}...warp {displace
{...}}}}
isosurface {function {Foo(x,y,z)}}

This "life" thingy is very addictive, believe me. I too used to spend
hours in front of the stack of gridded sheets (or, later, the
monitor).

would this be like adding two pigments together, like beats in wave
theory, where matching peaks cause constructive interference and
matching troughs create destructive interference and values in between a
mix of the two? i'm thinking this would cause a mix between say, bozo
and granite to look like neither one. i am way off? or am i getting
it?

No. It distorts a pattern by moving each point by the value of the color
vector of the displacing pigment at that point. The displacing pigment
isn't used for colors, but for vectors. The rgb values are used for xyz
values for translating the each point of the pattern being warped.
I am trying to figure out how to add a "vector_map" keyword, that would
clear things up a little.
