I have seen discussions about adding a reference to object feature to
povray, but I don't recall seeing any attempted implementations. Stating the
obvious - where you can, replace objects with meshes. Perhaps set your scene
file up to render in detail only in sub-regions selected by switches in your
SDL file. The high detail sub-images could then be glued together to form
the complete image. Borrow a machine with the memory you need. In the unix
world especially, machines with 100s of gigabytes of memory exist though it
can be hard to get time on them without spending money.
