Unless he wants a series of image files fed into POV, in which case the way
I do it is with inxframe.inc (see URL below, click on animated gif at top or
scroll down).
But the pigment change one to another would make for a simpler way as long
as no intermediate images with many different variations were needed.
Although I'm sure that could probably be accomplished in that way too with a
set of image replacements.
