While you *can* write a custom renderer that would rasterize the texture at "render-time", most people simply won't, as it's hard, requires custom approach (so not supported natively by stuff like OpenGL) and not best performance-wise (which is important for real-time renderers)
True, but the main advantage (imho) is it doesn't have to be a 'normal' texture. You could eg store material parameters (per texture pixel) instead of rgb values.
For LDCad's test run I'm planning to generate just a simple rgba texture (using FBO) first though.
Probably using a (configurable) 10pixels/ldu resolution.
