The idea is very similar to Martin's, >but the implementation is a bit different. I'm not sure what the >problems that Martin refers to are, but I suspect one problem Neither the hexagons from Martin's method nor those from Mark's version are plane hexagons. It seems that Mathematica employs some optimizations in Graphics3D which will cause a non-plane polygon to appear as though it were actually plane. I would be very interested in a method which would tile the torus with plane hexagons, or with any combination of higher polygons, say, hexagons, squares, and decagons.
