Hex board for Go players

The usual Hex board pattern consists of regular hexagons, like a beehive.
Here is a POV-Ray image of a 19x19 Hex board consisting of a grid of
triangles, where players place their stones on the intersections, as in Go.

This is a large image, 1600x1200.

I modified someone else's source code for a Go board to make this.
My hope is that this might arouse some interest and curiosity in the game
among Go players.

I suppose you could play Go on such a board, but whether that would be
an improvement or not is highly debatable. "Ko" positions could not arise,
for example. But Hex is the game to try. Here's a hub link:

So, what do you think?
