  Using my triangle mesh compressor (you can output in povray format if you
don't want the pcm version).
  It can look for triangles with two or three vertices being the same point
and delete those triangles.

  Btw, I think that povray also considers degenerate those smooth triangles
which have normals pointing to different sides of the triangle. I have to
verify this and add it to the program.

: Does Povray remove the degenerate triangles by itself, or are the triangles

  I think it ignores them (just warning about them).
