So, I was playing around with the mapping node, & instead of “Point” I tried out the “Texture” tab & got this. No idea yet what it means, but it looks cool.

& then I tried out the “Normal” tab & got this. Not sure yet which one I like better.

They both kinda go with the “fantasy chess” theme I’m doing.
