The Rope and the Blockwall macros on the POV-Ray Object Collection both 
create objects that follow splines. Maybe the images in the documentation 
for them could inspire ideas for a POV-Ray project:

http://lib.povray.org/collection/blockwall/chrisb%201.1.1/blockwall.html
http://lib.povray.org/collection/rope/chrisb%201.0/rope.html

I don't think the POV-Ray polygon object is used very much. Having said 
that, there are examples of it being used in the Blockwall and CurvedPaving 
macros which both use polygon objects to provide a quick render option. I 
think it's more common to use prism objects, which can be generated using a 
linear spline to give a 3D sort of equivalent.
