Just so you are not totaly confused by my answer you need to understand
the way that 3DWin makes wire frames. 3DWin reads 3D file formats that
are represented as triangles. When you ask it to output to POV-Ray wire
frame mode it connects each vertice of the triangles as a sphere/cylinder
combination and leaves the triangle out. You end up with a wire frame
representation this way. Very complex models with many triangles make
extremely large .pov files. You can also choose blobs instead of
spheres/cyls but those files are even larger.
