I'd like to see some sort of boning features available for the meshes
I use with POV, and I don't even do animations. I'd like the ability
to accurately deform 3rd party meshes for still images. 

Of course I *could* buy Poser, Rhino, or any one of several other
commercial 3D packages, but POV-Ray is free. It would be terrific if
there were some sort of practical way to accurately deform meshes
(boning comes to mind in particular), without spending a lot of money
on some external modeler.

Later,
Glen
