Many, many moons ago, I used the POV on my ATARI !!! It had/has a very powerful parser. The new version is available at http://www.povray.org/ If I remember correctly, there was even an object designer (Breeze.exe) that save created models in POV format. The POV-Ray engine is a pure Raytracer, I think, and can beat many other kinds of render apps. Siegbert P.s There are textures which are assigned in an #include colors parameter. Nonetheless, very impresive image.
