You probably just read right past it.
There are plenty of links like: "Click here to download some POV-Ray code"
Just [CTRL][F] and search for POV - they'll pop up.

No code, but about 3/4 of the way down on
http://www.bugman123.com/Physics/index.html
is an atomic orbital df3.
Maybe you could email Paul and ask him for [partial] source code, but I think
plenty of people here ought to be able to show you how to write a DF3, and
implement it in a scene.
Also, check the drop-down insert menu, and example scene file directories
supplied with your POV-Ray distribution.

I'm at work now and have to deal with a [brand new] flat tire tonight, but maybe
I can didg something up for you at home if people don't chime in before then.

There's a way - I've just never used it.   Search for POV-Ray df3 and maybe you
can find something on the web or a forum post.  Or clipka will jump in soon....

I'll try to get it posted for you tonight.
