Make a *real* triangular shape and use image_map to simulate the 
lighting and shading? That might work...the shadow wouldn't be exactly 
correct, but close enough that most people wouldn't notice the 
difference.
Or easier, use MegaPOV and no_shadow for the visible "broken" triangle 
and no_image for another triangle to cast correct-looking shadows.
