for a single image maybe you could attempt that. it has been done before - i've even done it once (back in the olden days). the problem is getting everything correct. glare, reflections, indirect illumination, correct perspective material mapping... i could go on if i was to think about it. there are plugins the likes of shag that would be hard to replicate. also antialiasing would only work once materials were attached to objects in a scene.

unless i've misinterpreted what you mean?
