Personally I create variables in the beginning of the scene to quickly change
the quality of the render/objects/textures while testing.
For example it is possible to do this:

#declare Finish = off;

sphere{0,1 pigment {rgb x*1} #if(Finish)finish{reflection 0.2}#end}

So with one switch it is possible to turn off the reflection values of the whole
scene if you code it like this.

The latest versions of Wings3d have included a POV-Ray exporter (without having
to install any plugin like before) which imho is much easier/faster to use then
PoseRay. Just in case someone missed it ;-)
