The radial
pattern is a radial blend that wraps around the
+y-axis. The color for value 0.0 starts at the +x-direction and wraps the
color map around from east to west with 0.25 in the -z-direction, 0.5 in -x,
0.75 at +z and back to 1.0 at +x. Typically the pattern is used with a
frequency
modifier to create multiple bands that radiate from the
y-axis. For example:
pigment { radial color_map { [0.5 Black] [0.5 White] } frequency 10 }
creates 10 white bands and 10 black bands radiating from the y axis.
The radial
pattern has a default color_map built in that results
in a yellow, magenta and cyan pattern with smooth transitions.
