Well, it should have been happen someday: to the collection of Python 
programs for conversion of bitmap into POVRay solid objects mosaic two 
more programs (p3zaika.py and p6zaika.py) were added, converting bitmap 
into a pack of triangle prisms or hexagonal prisms, correspondingly 
(sample output of p6zaika attached).

All programs reside at
https://github.com/Dnyarri/POVmosaic
and may be used, modified and tortured for free.

So, currently spheres, cubes, and two sorts of prisms are included as 
mosaic primitives, and all regular plane partitions (3/6, 4/4 and 6/3) 
covered. Considering the fact that POV output of these is as flexible as 
I could imagine, so you may edit objects properties or even replace 
objects globally, there is a vast opportunity to produce mosaic-looking 
posters, greetings cards, ads, and, all in all, molest humans 
graphically. Enjoy.

Meanwhile, while POV primitives seem to be exhaused (more or less), I 
may probably continue with something more complex. Beware.
