There have been many bipeds animated successfully in Povray. I even did a
basic walking stick figure in 1993 with Povray 1. So it's difficult, but
it's been done before, at least partially (see the anim "For a claw full of
gold" http://www.irtc.org/anims/2001-01-15.html).
However, I've never seen a Povray-made quadruped trotting or galloping
(which was why I used Poser to do it, BTW). So I guess that solving such a
problem in a way that's appealing to users would be a much better proof of
Povray's ability to support a native, flexible character animation system.
