I use all these levels to chose the quality of the geometry based on:
- the distance between the camera and the object
- the resolution of the rendered image
- a wide range between fast parsing and an ugly picture on the one side and a
slow one and a good result on the other.
- how good to animate all object in my 3D-application, (low-res as possible)
while there give a good similarity to its high-res pendant in povray (high-res
as possible).

PovRay is good to make textiles (also binaries, if needed) but I had lots of
trouble with parsing textiles. I'm not sure, if I remember right but I thing,
that Information in textiles need to be separated with a comma, when its being
parsed in PovRay.
