As I understand it so far, POV is scanning the uv-map, determines whether there
is a corresponding point in the mesh, shoots a ray from that point, if it
exists, at the mesh (here slightly above the mesh in the negative direction of
the normal) and stores the result at the point gained from the uv-map. May be
I'm completely wrong with that, but I think that this is it, what distribution 3
does.

Best regards,
Michael
