 One thing I am slightly confused about is if you are using a complicated
scene description language to make a new scene and then convert it to
POV-Ray won't you still be limited to what POV-Ray can actually do
proceeduraly ?

 If POV-Ray can already do it proceeduraly why not do it in native Pov
in the first place ?
