But that wouldn't do exactly what you want. That would only produce an
orthographic camera, not a perspective camera. And what if you wanted your
camera security camera to do ultra_wide_angle.
Even better, if you could specify an entire camera for the pigment, it would
make it really easy to set up those cross-eye 3D images, since you could
create one main camera which points at two boxes, each with a pigment
created from another camera.

I think I see what you are saying, sort of UV-map a camera onto the
object?
Hmm, and two additional types would be a pseudo-orthographic(where the
rays are always shot in the same direction, no matter what their
position), and one where the rays are always shot through a point in
space. This might be similar to perspective.
This could be a very fun tool, especially with warps and pigment_maps.

Ok, my statement was incomplete.
What I meant was that for a _specific point_ the ray could go always to
the same direction. The direction could then depend on the point calculated
(but not on the direction of the incoming ray), thus allowing perspective or
whatever.
