texture applied like any other ...
#declare tileplaid =
texture {
    pigment { uv_mapping
      gradient x
      pigment_map{
        [1/7 rgb 1][1/7 gradient y
          colour_map{
            [(1/7)*.5 rgb 1]
            [(1/7)*.5 rgb <.6,.6,1> ]
          }
        ]
      }
      scale <1/160,1/20,1>*.7
    }
    finish { basic_finish }
}
#declare pool_box =
difference {
    box { <-8, -66.5, -8> <232, 0, 232> } // legoworld hole
    box { <0, -65, 0> <224, 1, 224> }
    texture { tileplaid }
    translate <-8,0,-8>
}
union {
object { pool_box }
object { TQ_water2 }
object { beachball scale 8.5 rotate z*45 rotate y*-55 translate <30,6.5,55> }
translate y*4
}


You have been such a fantasic source on this, didn't mean to derail your thread.
I could see someone had a clue on water.

That is the code, 2:1 and 8:1, that made the image which all speaks for itself:

I never expect perfection, but expect imperfection that is for me to... enhance.
I hesitate to say perfect.
