This would render a flat section of the texture. This is not what ekolis is
looking for.

I believe what he wants is this: consider a complex mesh floating in space,
with a procedural texture applied.

He wants to sample the procedural texture on the surface of the mesh in
order to create a 2D image, which, when applied with proper UV coordinates
on the mesh, will cause the mesh to look exactly as it did with the
procedural texture.

To answer his question, POV-Ray cannot do this on its own. I'm not even sure
if it can be done with SDL.

It would certainly be a useful feature for times when you want to animate a
mesh and have the texture remain static on it, yet still have textured it
procedurally.
