Yes!

You did it first:) I had recorded in my TODO file to do "either an
animation of light or a PlaneSensor to move the light". Indeed --- the
effect of these textures is most awesome when the light source is
moving relative to the lit object. In my view3dscene, I used the "Edit
-> Edit Lights" feature to move the light at runtime and test this.

I browse the changes from your andreasplesch:css-x3dom branch, and
merged them all to my demo-models master branch:)

Thank you!
