  Mapping with Warps
  Adapting patterns to surfaces

The pattern modifier "warp" warps patterns like "checker", "brick" and others around cylinders, spheres, toruses and other objects.
Types of mapping warps: cylindrical, spherical, toroidal and planar.

  Cylindrical Warp
Sample no Cylindrical Warp
brick without warp
Sample Cylindrical Warp
brick lateral warp
Example:
pigment { //lateral warp
  brick color rgb<1,1,1>        // mortar
        color rgb<0.8,0.25,0.1> // brick
  brick_size <0.085, 0.0625, 1>
  mortar 0.01
  warp{ cylindrical
        orientation <0,0,1>
        dist_exp 0
      } // end of warp
  } // end of pigment --------------------

Sample Cylindrical Warp
brick top warp
Example:
pigment { // top warp
  brick color rgb<1,1,1>
        color rgb<0.8,0.25,0.1>
  brick_size <0.077, 0.0885, 0.18>
  mortar 0.01
  warp{ cylindrical
        orientation <0,1,0>
        dist_exp 0
      } // end of warp
  } // end of pigment -----------------

Example:
pigment {
  brick color rgb<1,1,1>        // mortar
        color rgb<0.8,0.25,0.1> // brick
  brick_size <0.2484, 0.0507, 0.125>
  mortar 0.008
  scale <0.4,1.3,1.1>
  warp{ spherical
        orientation <0,0,1>
        dist_exp 0
      } // end of warp
  } // end of pigment --------------------

Example:
torus { 1, 0.5
 texture{
  pigment {
  brick color rgb<1,1,1>
        color rgb<0.8,0.25,0.1>
  brick_size <0.058,0.0525,0.8>
  mortar 0.0055
  warp { toroidal
         orientation <0,0,1>
         dist_exp 0
         major_radius 0.5
       } // end of warp
  } // end of pigment
  normal {wrinkles 0.75 scale .01}
  }}// end of texture and torus -------

Sample:
torus { 1, 0.5
 texture{
  pigment {
  brick color rgb<1,1,1>
        color rgb<0.8,0.25,0.1>
  brick_size <1.0,0.0305,0.1>
  mortar 0.006
  rotate <90,0,0>
  warp { toroidal
         orientation <1,0,0>
         dist_exp 0
         major_radius 0.5
       } // end of warp
  } // end of pigment
  normal {wrinkles 0.75 scale .01}
  }}// end of texture and torus -------

Planar Warp
Sample no Planar Warp
crackle without warp
Sample Planar Warp
crackle with warp
Click on the images for a higher resolution.
This takes a planar image of a 3d texture (from the pane definded by plane normal in distance along the normal) and extrudes it along the Z-axis like an image_map.
 
Example:
pigment{
   crackle scale 0.45
   color_map{
     [0.0 color rgbf <1,1,1,0.8>]
     [0.2 color rgbf <1,1,1,0.5>]
     [0.3 color rgb <0.25,0,0>]
     [0.7 color rgb <1,0,0>]
     [1.0 color rgb <1,0,0>]
    }//end of color_map
  scale 0.3 translate<0,0,-1>
  warp { planar <0,0,-1>, -1 
     // plane normal,
     // distance along the normal
       // end of warp
  } // end of pigment ------------
