There is little relation between useable image_map resolutions and the 
render size, perspective and scaling could let you get away with very 
low-res maps or require much higher resolution.

An easier technique would be to use the object pattern to change the 
texture or create a new texture layer. For simple geometric designs, you 
could have the entire texture generated within POV, with no resolution 
worries.
