Yep.  It's just a simple raytracer, written with POV-Ray functions.  The box
just has a function for the pigment.  The second one just has the exact same
viewpoint and ambient 1 for the trompe l'oeil effect.  I got sick of it before
implementing reflections...

The motivation was the talk of parallax-mapping, which got me wondering to what
extent POV-Ray functions could be used, well, for raytracing.  I still think
with some iterative method that parallax-mapping could be achieved, only I
don't think it would be efficient by the time it's done.
