Normally yes - sorry.

But then again, POV-Ray has super-normal powers ;-)

One option that springs to my mind is to render an animation series of 
"slices" of the object, then use an external tool to trace the outlines 
of the shape in order to create a vertex cloud, and ultimately connect 
them to a mesh. Maybe do some sophisticated cleanup to reduce the vertex 
count where possible. Voila.
