[Bf-python] Accessing objects for render operation

[Khalifa Lame]

Thanks.

One other thing, please. I need to access the final results of the texture
stack. For example, a texture for the model's color (the result of blending
all the textures that influence color), another for normals, another for
specular, etc.

bpy.types.Texture.evaluate() sounds like it could be useful but it doesn't
take any arguments that could specify which channel to return eg. color,
normal, alpha or spec
