I work in a beverage manufacturing facility. We recently added a tank farm 
-- lots of blending tanks, pumps, pipes & control pods. This particular 
area was fully engineered & placed in an AutoCAD drawing (3D) before any 
ground was broken.

There were 'after' photos taken of the area, but the ambient [and|or] flash 
lighting don't do justice to the thought and labor which was put into this 
project. 

Rather than calling in a professional photographer, we discussed the 
possibility of converting the AutoCAD drawings to POV and creating images 
from that.

Before I delve into unknown areas and make promises I cannot keep, I want 
to know if there is a particular CAD > POV conversion application anyone 
has used with any success? I would prefer to be able to manipulate lighting 
and camera positioning (a'la Moray) before export to POV.

A couple of requirements:

Preferbly should support Autocad 2000. If not, I could convert to earlier 
version I guess. 

Said application should cost $500 (US) or less.

Thanks!
