Hello tracers. I recently downloaded blender to give it a whirl in 
modeling. I'd still like to render things with povray though. On first 
look it seems like it would be easiest to save as DXF and find a 
converter. I havn't been able to find any dxf to povray converters. 
freeware, as this is just for a hobby. I have found python packages that 
are supposedly for blender specific and exporting to povray usable 
meshes, but i havn't been able to get any of those to work. I'm trying 
to do this under linux. Anything on the links page on povray.org has 
either been a broken link (dxf2pov for example) or not really just a 
converter but a software package that i'd have to buy. the 3DWin line of 
converters has a 3dto3d source code package but it again looks not free.

So does anyone have any experience on using blender modeled scenes with 
povray? i'm using blender 2.25 as found on blender.org's download 
section and povray 3.5.

thanks,
ross


p.s. if this is too off-topic, feel free to let me know and i'll throw 
it in the off topic group, or maybe the unix group?
