Did you know that you can mix existing POV code with your blender scene? just
copy and paste it in the Blender text editor with view properties enabled and
check the "add as POV code" box. It will be integrated with Blender POV Code
seamlessly at render time. It's all explained and demonstrated in the WIKI.

About smooth geometry, the integration of Pixar's opensubdiv is planned for one
of next blender realease, so this should improve it.
