Poseray is turning into a fantastic all-purpose conversion tool for 
Povray!  I just downloaded the latest version since it now supports not 
only .OBJ but.3DS and .DXF formats.  Well, it does very well with .3DS 
and UV mapping, I was surprised.  I think Poseray might be due for a name 
change?

Attached model was converted from original .MTS format to .3DS format 
using ZModeler.  Then .3DS to Povray using Poseray.  The wheels were 
read-locked, so I couldn't get them, sorry.  Note that the model and the 
image maps are both low-res since they are used as-is in a real-time 
racing game (EA's F1 2002), I was still pleasantly surprised by the 
results in Povray.

I am glad that it worked for you. I just uploaded a small update because 
of a couple of bugs.

Was this rendered with the HDRI patch for POV-Ray?

good luck,
