Pay a visit to Unkle Ken's Link Page in p.a.f-a-q and look for 3DWin.
It can manage POV 2.2 spheres, iirc. Other than that, perhaps it will
be easier to generate your output directly in a format that Bryce can
understand (say, dxf), depending on the utilities that you use.

You said "occasional CNC interpretation"... Am I right in guessing
that you mean "Computer Numerical Control" here? This summer I will be
operating and programming a laser technological system based on a
FANUC CNC and it would be really helpful if I can convert my scripts
to something POV can understand. Can you point out any utilities that
can manage this?

Thanks in advance.
