If you had problems with Wings UV editing (never got there myself so not
sure how difficult it is), you should try blender UV facility. LSCM is
almost like 3DSMax's pelt mapping, it even out before Max implement pelt
mapping in 8. I have max at my disposal here in my office, but I prefer to
unwrap in Blender.

Blender + POVAnim + POVRay would make a killer combination. Just my 2 cents
btw.
