Just going to make a side comment - what is it with some companies out 
there (especially big name ones) and, "You can convert that, but only 
using our plugin, which requires our software."? I mean, who owns your 
design, them, or you? And, if its you, then how can you be said to own 
it, if, at some point, you are no longer using their damn software, 
and.. now have no way to convert it any more? Heck, how can you even be 
said to own it to sell, if.. there is no way to convert it to the format 
the buyer wants? (This latter one being what I have run into several times.)

Anyway, that's my vaguely related rant. lol

But, I think the reason he asked, instead of google, is because of the 
whole "sketchup to POVRay" thing. Google.. can sometimes, as good as it 
is, be a bit like... going to a library without a card catalog, and 
trying to find the one book that mentions blue aliens who eat broccoli. 
I don't blame the guy for going to a place that actually works "with" 
POVRay exclusively to ask.
