I found intresting program like Biowin.

http://www.povray.org/resources/links/3D_Programs/Misc._POV-Ray_Utilities/

Form ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/ibmpc/dos/apps/graphics/form/
The FORM program is a FREE program that allows you to create "FORMS" for
display on your monitor or for rendering by the POV raytracer. A form is a
three dimensional object built up from a simple set of primitives and some
simple operations performed on them

How can I output to .pov file? Or dxf,wrl?

I just played around with the dos version for a couple of minutes and
got it to put out a .pov file by using -pov on the command line. I
haven't had any success yet getting the Windows version to run.

Yeah, I used to love FORM. I posted an image here in binaries.images that I made with
it.
Here's the link:

From memory, Ken is correct in saying that you need to use -pov on the command line (I
think
there are other POV related options). All the info you need is in the included doc
files.
IIRC, the windows version is basically a way of visualising FORM mutations, using
different
seeds. You can configure the window to display up to 9 FORM's. Click on the one you
like, and
you can save it (as a FORM file), or set that one to be the parent, from which
children will
mutate. You can't actually output POV code from the Win version. You have to use the
method
described above.

All the best,

Andy Cocker

Form and Biowin are both great utilities that have been
orphaned. There are other simple utilities from the DOS
days that have just gone away, like Suds (although you
can still use Suds with POV 3.5 after a little editing of
the output). Wish I had the programming skills to bring
these programs up to date for use with POV 3.5.
Maybe someone is up to the task.
