Hallo!
I'm writing a simple macro in order to cover of scales an object, and my
purpose is to assign to each scale the color of the surface of the object in
the point of tangency with the scale itself.
The question is...
...is possible to determinate the color of a point of given coordinates in
POV-Ray?
Thank you in advance,
;-)

try
eval_pigment(Pigm, Vect)
"Pigm" being your predeclared pigment and "Vect" being coordinates of the
point you are testing (beware object tranformations)

It works, but only if the object to be covered by scales has only a pigment.
It's however a step further...
Thank you,
