I did answer that. The texturing is likely better than what you get by 
hand-drawing a texture, for anything that has algorithmic textures (i.e., 
textures created by the environment, like rust or stone, rather than 
textures created by human design, like clothing).

I not uncommonly use pov-ray to create a flat texture that I then import 
into some other modeler to map onto a mesh. You could go the other way just 
as easily.
