I presented my problem. I had a solution in my mind, but couldn't
find a way to do it with povray. So i was asking for that way.
The reason for posting the problem is to get other optinion about
reaching the goal.

Tim's answer was very helpful, yours wasn't. After reading your post
i was none the wiser.

You said: "Sorry but the fact you write this shows that you have  
absolutely no idea how
raytracing works and what mip-mapping is. I don't want to appear brusk but  
you should
think about things and inform yourself a bit better before posting  
something like this."

If that means, my question was not well formulated, i still have to learn  
a lot :)
