I'm mainly SDL.  Hand calculate all CSG.  But lately, I have been using some
meshes to test scenes, however, these are usually premade, I haven't got
into using mesh modelers too much myself yet (I generally focus more on
texturing and lighting rather than modelling at the moment).  But for POV
based stuff, I do it all from scratch within POV (or premade
scenes/macros/includes that I aready put together) rather than using an
external POV editor like Moray.
