Of course it is sound.

I once made an animation of an eyeball on a pillar. With the pupil 
dilating. My wife still says that it is the one animation that she hates.

It is Bishop3D. But I would not recommend it any more. :-)
It is not free (was to me as I was a tester and got it free). More 
importantly the developer has, I fear. Gone to the Great Rendering 
Engine in the Sky. He has not been seen for years. And there is no support.
If you do want help with it. I and possibly StephenS would help.
There is also Moray but that too is not being developed.
Moray (free) works with Pov 3.5 and Bishop3D with 3.6. Although both 
export code that can be modified.
I find that they help me visualise the scenes I make.
There is an ongoing project with Blender that renders using PovRay. That 
is mesh based not CSG.
