Yep, I know. I'm on board of the development for the exporter only some days,
now.
But my first mission was to clean up the formatting of the pov-file. I have
implemented an option to choose the indentation in the pov-file (Tabs or Spaces
and the amount of spaces), also an otion to write automatic comments inside the
pov-file.
One of my future targets is to optionaly export only pov-files without
rendering, export in seperated pov or inc files, possibility to use inc files
inside Blender, and so on.
So I think I know the target-group, thats why I'm asking here. At the blender
side not that many people are firm with the POV-Ray-code.
Thats why I try to bring up the communities a little bit closer together.
I could place some ready made scenes on the Blender-wiki-page, to show the
single POV-Ray features, maybe wit hcorresponding pov-file. Will think about
that.

Will take a look at and test them.

I think it would be nice. No costs nor hassle on your side and both (Blender and
POV-Ray) could benefit from.
