  I think that the purpose of this competition is to show the power of
POV-Ray as a renderer. It can't compete as a modeller, and that's not
even its purpose.
  IMHO it's completely ok to use whatever modellers you like. The important
thing is that the image generated by POV-Ray should look as awesome as
possible.
