Thanks! Illusion.inc is the name of the file which allows an image_map 
to be placed directly in front of a render. You can apply the pigment to 
any objects you want. You can perform many compositing tricks this way.

  Any tutorials about this anywhere? If not, maybe someone should create
one.

Yep. It does look different, but the habitus and the idea of a metallic, 
robotic bug makes mind-bridges.

Is this a hint? Are you trying to say that I should be the one to do 
this? Well, perhaps I should, since nobody else is stepping up :)

The POV-Ray wiki seems to be the perfect place to post such a tut. Can 
binary files (besides images) be uploaded to the wiki? I'm asking 
because somebody requested an explanation for my weathered rocks a while 
back, and I would like to place the necessary files in a more secure 
place. My own web space is slight, and is not very permanent.

Should be able to - if you can't, MediaWiki can be modified to accept 
files with specific extensions.  I think zip is included as part of the 
default set, though.  If the file is over a certain size, you'll get a 
warning, but it should let you continue.

Well, I'll keep this in mind. The POV-Wiki is already giving me problems...

Creepy yet gorgeous. I'm just amazed at how quickly--and seemingly
effortlessly--you manage to turn out one beautiful render after another. I'm in
awe--and a bit envious!  :-)
