     Create your object, and then go to > Object > Export > Name it > choose

Poseray and hit "Load 3D model". Navigate to your .obj model that you've 
just created in Anim8or.

    Then, when the model has opened, add your materials, geometry, lighting, 
camera etc., (if you want to at this time, you don't have to, because you 
can edit these files later in your project folder), and then hit > Povray 
output > Export files, or > Export & render files.

      You should now have a .pov file in that folder that you can now open 
and render.

      Good luck!
