Hi.

What are the best recommendable converters from POV-Ray scene files into 
meshes used by file formats such as .3ds and .dxf?

Not really, and not at all. There are modellers out there, like Bishop3D, 
which can read the POV-Ray scene files. The step to convert a file which was 
successfully read, to a 3D mesh, shouldn't be that big.

A decade ago, Crossroads did it already.It read POV-Ray scene files and 
converted them into .3ds or .dxf files. My problem is only, I can't find the 
program Crossroads 3D now.

If anyone has a copy of the free Crossroads 3D? Or links to other 
converters?

them in other formats. It is not free but less than 30 Euros.

this seems to be a working link to Crossroads 3D:

Thanks, Simone. I found it, and I used it. Still, my scene doesn't show up 
within Crossroads 3D, despite that it has been imported without problem.

Can you try and find out, what's wrong?

Here's the entire schene, no additional INCLUDE file is required. Thanks a 
lot!

I have no idea, I haven't used crossroads before (or if so, it's been so long
since then, I can't remember).
There is a shareware converter here http://psenzee.com/pov2mesh/ which converts
to .obj  which might be imported to 3ds or dxf with other converters (probably
poseray) afterwards. However it seems to have limitations concerning the import
of #declare statements, at least it says so on the homepage. I haven't tried
this one either, but maybe it can help with your project.

Cheers,

Simone
