It is relatively easy using the image map feature of POV-Ray. There
is no background tiling feature but you can easily apply an image map
to a plane and set it behind your scene. If you do not specify the
'once' image map modifier the image will automatically tile itself.
plane { z, 20
pigment {
image_map {tga "your_image.tga" interpolate 2 }
}
}
