created in 3dmax? If yes, than i need to know can pov-ray do that if he

I don't think so... at least not without some sort of converter. There are
file converters if you know what to look for -- try "POV-ray, mesh,
converter" in google.

3Dmax and POV-ray use different mesh file formats, have a different internal
language, 3Dmax has a scripting and plug-in ability POV-ray doesn't.

If I had the money, I'd buy 3Dmax.
