All I know of is that python has some rendering ties now, so if it 
could do a quick unwrap render and save load all automated that would 
suffice for now. Otherwise a way for python to interact with the 
shaders somehow.

I dont know , but I am sure it will take some math stuff. Prove me 
wrong! :D
