I just had a small brainstorm about the pigments and normals in pov.
How hard would it be to make the code to do this:

add{
 pigment{wood}
 pigment{gradient y}
}

It would be like the paint-types in Photoshop. You would get to choose
from multiply, add, subtract, difference, etc. It seems perfectly
feasable to me. Is it?

Currently you can average (weighted) and layer textures in povray.
Multiplication, substraction, etc sounds like a good idea to me, though.
It would be very useful specially with normals... And perhaps with media.

main(i,_){for(_?--i,main(i+2,"FhhQHFIJD|FQTITFN]zRFHhhTBFHhhTBFysdB"[i]
):5;i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_=0,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Warp -*/

Well, you can do logical "AND" and "OR" with interiors now. I too want
to see these things possible with pigment and normals, too. For
pigments, some other functions (like screen, hue, color dodge etc.)
will be useful, too.
