Maybe POV4 could include a kind of pluggable script within the engine that would
allow people to implement different stuff (shading models, cartoon rendering,
etc, etc, (yes - ambient occlusion(!)!)!).

Simple as using POV->Trace->Output*result.

on_trace(x,y)
{
  #if(trace(x,y)>=.5)
     final_pixel_color = 0.5;
  #else
     final_pixel_color = "whatever it should have been";
  #end
}

x and y being derived from the camera & look_at etc.


?
