You could probably use a df3 file to perturb the geometry of an 
isosurface. Each rgb component could offset the x, y, and z axes, 
respectively.

To deform a mesh using this technique, you would have to either create 
the entire mesh from scratch in POV-Ray, or read the mesh and assign new 
values for the vertices, normals, etc., based on the rgb values of the 
df3 file.

I believe this can be done, but you would have to develop the whole 
system yourself.
