I can see why you find Kerkythea interesting. Now, a good renderer with a pretty complete lighting toolset and a good shader system is really a good thing. I don't know if Kerkythea does displacement yet, but if it does it could become a serious rendering option for me - if I can find the time to learn it properly. I still struggle with Vue.

I will test Kerkythea as well. I will see what I manage to get from there. From what I have seen, a bridge would not be that hard to do. Kerkythea uses OBJ files as well, and if the material system is as versatile as you say some kind of material conversion should be possible as well.

What I read up to now looks better than POVray.
