I have found that investing in a modelling program like Rhino3D
(www.rhino3d.com) can allow POV to rival commercial products on almost all
levels.

POV is an excellent renderer, nicer than most of the commercial products
(except for radiosity). It excells at procedural texturing while most of the
commercial products rely on texturemapping. If done right, it can look much
nicer.
