If a surface normal is sufficient for his purposes, then a matrix of boxes
is unnecessary.  Discontinuous bump patterns can be effected with a 4-part
tiled texture, which can be built up with checker and gradient.  As long as
no adjacent tiles carry the same sub-texture, the continuity won't be
evident.
