practical purpose ? animation of flying leafs, cards, walking carpet etc.
1. scan complicated shape - for example leaf
2. triangulate it with inside/outside function via eval_pigment on image_map
3. deform it much complicated way than patches
4. use compressed mesh package by Chris Colefax and Warp to optimize result for
complicated scenes
5. use scaned image_map via uv_mapping
6. trace scene
is it good enough purpose ?
