  I don't understand your attitude. First you are extremely rude and
impolite to the original poster, who made a perfectly valid and legit
question and now you are nitpicking about the "usefulness" of a limited
trilinear interpolation which is rather odd given that there's at least
one other scanline-rendering feature in povray which is equally limited,
namely uv-mapping, and you are not complaining about its "usefulness".

  Why is trilinear interpolation so much different from uv-mapping
(in the context of limitations and how useful it can be)?
