I remember, there was something like this in Megapov ... Never tried it,
though

Now I've come along a situation, where I'd need it ... is this in 3.5 ?
PovDoc doesn't reveal anything 'bout it ...

I have some textures, used inside a texture_map ...

It would be a lot of work, to divide it into pigment_map, normal_map... and
finish_map isn't possible

Reverse transformation of these inner textures is hard to compute ...
So easiest would be a reset_children thingie ..

suggestions ?

My code looks something like this :

-------------------------------

#declare LPos=f1(clock);
#declare SphPos=f2(clock);

#declare Tex1=texture {
    pigment { ...
        }
    normal {...
        }
    finish {...
        }
    scale ...
    translate ...
    }


#declare Tex2=texture {
    pigment { ...
        }
    normal {...
        }
    finish {...
        }
    scale ...
    translate ...
    }

#declare Tex=texture {
    gradient vnormalize(SphPos-LPos)
    scale 2
    translate vnormalize(LPos-SphPos)
    texture_map {
        [0.0 Tex1]
        [1.0 Tex2]
        }
    }
--------------------------------------------
as you can see, Tex1 and Tex2 will be transformed together with Tex, but they
should
stay, where they are...

The reset_children feature was not added to 3.5, but the same effect is 
possible. Since you are using plain transformations, you can do this:


#declare TexTrans = transform {
    scale 2
    translate vnormalize(LPos-SphPos)
}

#declare Tex = texture {
    gradient vnormalize(SphPos-LPos)
    transform {TexTrans}
    texture_map {
        [0.0 Tex1 transform {TexTrans inverse}]
        [1.0 Tex2 transform {TexTrans inverse}]
    }
}

More complex textures using warps are a different matter, you would have 
to do something like:

#declare Tex = texture {
    function {
        pattern {
            gradient vnormalize(SphPos-LPos)
            scale 2
            translate vnormalize(LPos-SphPos)
            turbulence 0.5
        }
    }
    texture_map {
        [0.0 Tex1]
        [1.0 Tex2]
    }
}

I think that the reset_children was found obsolete because the same
functionality can be achieved with pigment_pattern or functions.

Thanks so far ... You gave me the idea, but your solution doesn't work ...
Can this be a bug ?

I can't write

   transform {TexTrans}   // Parser Error

nor
   transform {TexTrans inverse}   // Parser Error

but only

   transform TexTrans

....

I can write:

#declare TexTrans=transform { scale 2 translate P1-P2 }

and

#declare TexTransInv=transform { scale 2 translate P1-P2 inverse }


Can this be a bug ?
I'll put a minimal Example, with error to p.b-t.b

Can it in this case ? ...
As you can see, I want to do it with complete textures, without having to
split them up ...
also I use different finishes, and I don't think there's an finish_map ...

It's a bug, but I thought it was fixed in the most recent version.

  But there's a texture_map.

... which I'm using ...
.. but it doesn't reset the children...

The function pattern technique will let you do this. It is basically 
warping the pattern itself instead of the texture.

Yes .. I've seen this ... I replied to Warp ...
