Hello, how do I use a diffuse map in POVray or MegaPOV? Is it even possible?
My best idea sofar is to extract the normal information through three AOIs
but it might not be easy to combine them and possibly impossible to combine
with the base pigment.

What do you mean by a "diffuse map"? I thought I knew what it meant until
you started talking about normals and AOI.

What exactly do you call a "diffuse map"? What concept is it suposed to represent?
Please explain what it Does. How it's suposed to work. For what is it used?
