Thanks! Definitely worth playing with.

I'm not sure if proper etiquette here would be to start a new post, but since
it's still on the same basic subject, I'll just continue...

How do I align a pigment with a normal? Say I have an isosurface that I want to
apply an agate normal to, but also an agate pigment_map that matches perfectly,
so that I can color just the 'valleys' of the normal map? Does that make sense?
It almost looks like it matches, but when I render one time with just the
pigment_map and one time with just the normal, I don't think they are the same
pattern.

isosurface
{
....

  texture
  {
    pigment
    {
      agate
      pigment_map
      {
        [0.00 rgb <0,1,.7>]
        [0.02 rgb <0,.3,.1>]
 [0.15 rgb <0,0,0>]
      }
      scale 0.2
    }

    normal
    {
      agate .5
      scale .2
    }
  }
}
