There's no limit to how complex it can weave.
There is a limit to how much you can tolerate typing in all the bands. The pattern you showed me has 14 bands in it, as follows.
a = IColor(0, 96, 170)
b = WHITE
c = BLACK
d = IColor(149, 149, 149)
clrs = [ (a, 54), (b, 8), (c, 8), (d, 4), (c, 4), (d, 4), (c, 8), (b, 8), (a, 54), (b, 4), (a, 4), (b, 4), (a, 4), (b, 4), ]
I increased the EZMat plugin to support 14 bands, but I can't imagine people will really want to deal with 28 parameters like that, without the factoring that is possible as I did above. (That is the actual setup in the script, in Python. I was able to define the four colors as a, b, c, d, so it was easy to type. Entering all the information in a GUI is painful and tedious.)
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
