WHich is ok, as your original points only point to your lack of ability 
with POV-Ray.  I have seen far more works here, done with POV-Ray, than 
I have seen done with your megabuck modelers, that look realistic.

Global lighting, try Poser if you want to find out what an abortion 
global lighting can be.  It is so restricted as to be totally useless, 
and is the reason I don't render anything in poser.  I *like* having 
good control over the lighting, and being able to reproduce the effects 
from a single source, rather than "the entire heavens radiate in all 
directions."  If I want that effect, which I don't, I'll put everything 
inside a hollow white sphere to get it, which is hardly worth the trouble.

Brushed metal, being as I make real brushed metal on occasion, I am a 
toolmaker, I think I know what's realistic and what isn't, NONE of them 
you can come up with are.

Final, it's very easy to criticize when you're not involved with the 
programming.  If you aren't satisfied with it, use something like 3DMAX. 
  Or maybe they just dont bitch because they're ashamed to admit that 
they spent the kilobucks for something that still won't do what they 
*think* it should.

OH, BTW, "Plonk."
