There was a similar question asked earlier this year. It might be worth 
a read as Thomas de Groot and William F Pokorny mention macros that 
might be useful.

Thanks to all for your quick and detailed responses!

I do some work with 3D printers, and so naturally I've come across and used
OpenSCAD.   The way to "build" things is remarkably similar to POV-Ray's SDL.

I'm wondering if it might be "easy" {someone else could do the work ;) } to
translate SDL to the OpenSCAD format, and export as an STL file.   AFAIK, it
should be trivial to convert STL to OBJ.

Is there any way to contact Jerome Grimbert or to download that patched
version of POV-Ray? Thanks.

The code is available on github and bitbucket
(if you like git or mercurial )

and all starts in

http://wiki.povray.org/content/User:Le_Forgeron

The repository is povray, the branch with tesselation and all other
extension/change is Hgpovray (or Hg-povray)

Hi,

yes, I already suspected that Le_Forgeron might be the other name of
Jérôme Grimbert, as his answer to the other former threads about this
topic were too detailed to have come from someone else. :-)

Okay. I went to GitHub, but since I am very new there, I have a hard
time to find the downloadable EXE file there. I am asking for some more
help. I opened the Repository, and there was POV-Ray. But when opening
POV-Ray there, I don't see any sub folder named HG-POV-Ray. Can you give
me the exact path for the download? I admit, that might help me best,
due to my unfamiliarity with GitHub.

There is no EXE, just source, you have to built it yourself.

First you duplicate the repository on your system, switch to the 
Hgpovray branch and then you follow the procedure to compile it.

Is there a downloadable ZIP or RAR archive for download?

Please have a look at the attached capture, both sites (github and 
bitbucket) provides download archive automatically.
