POV-Ray SDL (Scene Description Language) is a fairly straight-forward
text based way to describe 3D objects, and their colors and textures.
POV comes with a good manual with tutorials for this method (f1 for help).

If you wish to convert a scene file from some other format into POV, you
might want to try Poseray

which is a converter for various 3d formats like 3ds, and obj.

There are various softwares that provide a 3d modeling GUI with output
that can be ported to POV, all have advantages and disadvantages.
(no programming required).
