Type : color , reflect , filter

This texture applies a checker pattern in a radial pattern, out from the center of the texture axis. This can be used for applying checks to a ball or to a tube, and if applied to a plane with the Z axis coming out of the front, will radiate checks from the center. By setting the Z size of this texture to something larger than your object, and applying it to a sphere, you can do a beach-ball type of texture.
