I was wondering if anyone knows how to vector the effects of Warp in a 
single directtion.

For instance, if I use "warp { turbulence <0,1,0> } the warp pushes in both 
+x and -x, is there anyway to push only in the +x direction?

I think most of the POV team has been trying to vector Warp's efforts in
a single direction for some years, but he's far more stubborn than that.

Strange, I was thinking the same thing...

I assume you mean -y and +y for a turbulence of <0,1,0>.

But anyway, isn't what you're asking for equivalent to using turbulence plus 
translation?

I see that I'm not making myself clear, and yes I meant -y +y.  ( perhaps I 
should re-read these before posting sometimes)

Imagine a spherical pattern, apply warp <0,1,0>.  Some of the disturbed 
pattern appears above the original sphere, but some also appears below the 
sphere. What I would like is to push the the disturbance in only the +y 
direction.

Yes. So apply warp <0,0.5,0> only and then translate by <0,0.5,0> or 
whatever is needed to make sure that none of the disturbances remain 
negative.
