It's been worse.
Also, from my experience most 3D UIs suck. And it doesn't help that they do so
in entirely different ways.
BTW, the fact that Blender -- like most other 3D modelling software -- can't
import stuff from POV-Ray isn't any surprise either, given that POV-Ray uses (1)
a vastly larger number of different geometric primitives (most 3D software can
only handle triangle or polygon meshes) and (2) a non-trivial proprietary clunky
mess of a full-fledged programming language for scene description (most 3D
software only deals with plain lists of objects).

People have already done it.

And are doing it as we speak.
I have quietly joined in Michael and Scott's thread about isosurfaces.
Only, I have created a DF3 of a Mandelbulb.
I was going to ask if anyone ha an example of using:
#macro ARRAYS_WriteDF3(Array, FileName, BitDepth)
To create df3's?

See :
ObjectToDF3Example.pov for creating DF3 files with povray directly.
http://news.povray.org/povray.text.scene-files/thread/%3C523f9918%241%40news.povray.org%3E/
for one example. I thought there was an example shipped in the scenes
subdirectory, but not finding it now in a search so probably my memory
is faulty.

Maybe you could also make use of Gilles Tran's MakeCloud suite:

Thanks Bill, I will have a study of your code.
You may find me coming back to ask questions. :-)

From a quick look at Gilles's macro it still needs tga2df3.exe to
create the df3 file. Correct me if I am wrong.
