I made a patch with postprocessing based on the functions. Using functions
makes it possible to postprocess only selected selected parts of outputed
image. Mixing it with camera_view pigment I made or with projection pattern it
is possible to create selection with areas represented by views of object. In
other words it looks possible to do such effect with my patches thought I
would need some tests. Will post some images to p.b.i I hope, thought I think
first implementation will not be large time saver.
