I have seen many applications that can export files to POV format.
However I have never found anything that would accept POV ray files.
Is it really so hard to do ?

there use to be a pov->moray conversion tool, but that was around version
3.0 or earlier or povray. from discussions I remember, it was pretty hard
and therefor discontinued when povray's complexity increased. (just found
this: http://www.irtc.org/pipermail/irtc-l/1997-October/003386.html)
Somone also made an OpenGL preview tool for some pov scenes. I think it only
accepted pov primitives though. I must be putting the wrong words into
google, because i'm not finding anything.

Hi Marcin,
I have been attempting to do just that.  And yes, it is -very- difficult!
http://geocities.com/psenzee/pov2mesh/
This is my application pov2mesh.  It converts .pov to Maya .obj files.  The
first version (0.5) is pretty much beta and I will be releasing another
version as soon as I get the time to finish it up.
