UV mapping is used to map a 2D texture onto a 3D mesh. I know POV
textures are 3D and one might want to take advantage of that, but tell
this to the image-map geek types who made up UV mapping ;)

Maybe you can use a matrix transform to map the 3D texture to the XY
plane and then use a UV vector on it... just a suggestion.
