I have a need to convert alternate file formats to .pov files.  I'm
using Solid Designer (high end 3D CAD package) for work, but would love
to render the output from my files.  I have downloaded and looked at
AC3D, but it will not allow me to import .wrl files or others without
registering....any alternatives?

I can output in .pkg, .wrl, STEP and IGES formats.  Any help on this
would be greatly appreicated.

Will

RhinoCad 3d will import IGES and export as POV meshes. The files get pretty
big on export but it workd well.
