I guess I was mostly interested in if/how you were doing the modular arithmetic
to get seamless tiling, and assign pattern results to drive color_map values.

So - you've got a central cubelet surrounded by 26 other neighbor cubelets.
Is the central cubelet (off)set at <2, 2, 2>?

I suppose I will have to read through your code to better understand, and ask
better questions (or any at all).


Recalling some of your other posts - the pattern looks very "cubic" - rather
than a typical Voronoi pattern.

Also, have you thought about allowing user-defined distance metrics (Euclidean,
Manhattan, Minkowski, etc.) for generating the underlying pattern?
