I suppose I'll be changing the subject back OT, On Topic that is. :)

I use POV-Ray for making all sorts of gradients and 2D effects.  The
textures are really useful for that sort of thing.  One of my favorites
is making special gradients for use as bump maps.  One with wider black
areas than white are great for the flutes on a columns.  Works good for
the riges on a garbage can too, just need to touch up the top and
bottom.

Anyway, just one of the other uses I found for POV.
