This was a fun hack that is completely unacceptable for general use.
It was done by running Atlas and making regularly screenshots from it,
converting them to SGI images, and letting a <material> animation
update from it. It wasn't done in a platform-independent way and
(probably) had a "minor" performance problem. It was something like ...

  $ xwd -nobdrs -name Atlas|convert - sgi:atlas.rgb

  ...
  <animation>
      <type>material</type>
      <object-name>map-screen</object-name>
      <texture-prop>/path/to/texture/name</texture-prop>
  </animation>
  ...
  setprop("/path/to/texture/name", "atlas.rgb");
