  It would take me something like 5 minutes to make a good-looking 3D button
with POV-Ray. With the Gimp it would probably take me at least 1 hour, and
it still wouldn't look as good.

  POV-Ray is simply a great tool to create "3D'ish" images like those.
It's easy and fast.

  I use POV-Ray relatively often to create small images for different
things, for example at my payjob. It's great for making proof-of-concept
type small images (until the graphical designers make the final versions).

  I don't have a concrete example right now.
