  None of them really do as far as I know. Crossroads 3D will give an
approxamation of the original colors with declared Pov pigments but
if there were any special materials or image maps forget it. The
most important thing is that the conversion program keeps whatever
seperate group from the original seperate at export time to Pov. If it
does not do this, and gorups them all into one big mesh, there is
almost no way to know where to split the mesh object for seperate
textures and you end up with a single texture object.
