hi
in linux kpovmodeler is the best program i find, but require some little source
mod and recompile for pov3.7
kpovmodeler has the opportunity to place "raw povray source" for include macro
or what you want for example the included macro rad_def.inc or makegrass macro
from Gilles Tran http://www.oyonale.com etc.

another is y.a.p.r.m. but is incomplete
