You can export either .DXF or .3DS. 3DS will all you to keep
your color information and then use a 3d conversion program
like CrossRoads3D or 3DWin to convert to pov mesh. I don't
believe you can use csg on meshes - you will get a message
saying "cannot use cgs with patch objecs" or something like that.
Yes you can use any pigment/texture/normal type with meshes.
