It is now as it is unsupported. Another downside is that it only
supports PovRay 3.6 There are workarounds to get over that.
On the positive side: It exports native SDL with containers to write
your own code. It has a simple Pov scene importer that might be able to
use to reuse your existing models.
Have a look at Bishop3D here. http://www.bishop3d.com/
There are a couple of users here that can help if need be.

Here are a couple of images I did earlier the tenement (brownstone) and
the bridge were made using Bishop3d.

It does sound like a worthwhile project.
Good luck and keep us updated.

Thanks for the tip and the link. :)
Most of my code was written for 3.5 and also I mainly use standard
stuff that doesnt change too much, so that will probably not be a
problem.

Will do, thank you very much. /A

One tip up front.
The objects in Bishop3D do not have a local axis. So if you scale a box
it scales from the centre. Put it in a union on its own and you can
scale the union after you offset the box. The same for rotations. You
can change the centre of rotation using the union.

Thanks. It is mostly boxes and cylinders. All straight lines.

Aside from the repetition, the texture of the top wall looks too flat. A normal
that corresponds to the seams and dents would be a great improvement.

Yeah, the scaffolding really needs an overhaul...
It would be really neat to add ropes hodling it
together. : )

So does the worn stones. A normal is a good idea.
Here is a view of the model from another angle,
I added the source if anyone is interested:
http://povscriptcode.site123.me/
I like the view, but there is a lot of work to
be done before it is ready. I will make a bug
list when I have more time.
Best wishes! /A

Hello again, I finally got some time to work on this project...
Since the top storey and the scaffolding seemed to attract the
most comments I have started on the top stone wall.
I have replaced the the plain box + stone texture with a mesh
stone arrangement.
With a granite normal it looks quite well I think, or it will
with some nice blur colour texture applied.
The arch isnt 3D as you can see from the pics, but I dont think
that matters too much with the normal applied... actually I
think it looks good with some contrasting textures.
(Quite apart from the fact that writing a true 3D arch stone
seems like a complicated operation...)
Also, the inside of the window opening isnt 3D, I was too lazy
to make and place a separate instance of the mesh macro for
that. But I think the same applies there, it seems quite
plausible that that surface should be smoother than the outer
stone face.
I can post the code if anyone likes to tinker with it...
Best wishes, /A

Here is geometry + texture, but I havent had time to combine all three, so the
normal is still missing in this image. /A
