I meant the testing itself.  The "object pattern" takes an object (any kind
of object in Pov) and turns it into a 3d pattern, similar to the patterns
"bumps", "granite" or whatever. The result is you can easily test if a point
in space is inside or outside your original object.. So if you apply this
pattern as the texture of your cloth, you will be able to see - or just
test - when parts of your cloth is inside the object.

The benefit is you don't need specific code for all the primitive shapes and
so on.
