Is there a way to create slope-dependent textures in POV (with "slope" I
mean the angle between the surface normal and the Y axis)?

For example, I would like to create a mountain texture where the rock is
visible in the steep parts and the not-so-steep parts are covered by snow.
Would this be possible?

It is currently only possible using a patched version of the program such
as MegaPov which has a patch for slope dependent textures.
