I'd have given you names in the response, if my old memory were up to 
it. :-)

A google search for "povray blob model" turned up povray's own, links 
page at:

http://www.povray.org/resources/links/3D_Programs/POV-Ray_Modelling_Programs/

on which some blob modeling tools are listed. Some of those links dead 
end - though further searches on the tool names found downloads.

Code seems pretty old - mid to late 90s vintage - though probably still 
functions. I'd go with Christoph's Blender recommendation for Mr's 
Blender Blobs if you want any support.

Saw the image you posted in another response which I suppose came from 
some other technique/modeler you don't want to use? In any case, I 
second Christoph's response that blobs are not the way to go if you want 
flat surfaces.
