Indeed, your POV country needs YOU ! Please dust off your POV-Ray pride and
calmly defend this community's honnor by proving with serious work current
development's vitality and the credit POV-Ray still deserves. No one should have
to choose between Blender and POV, Lanuhum and I have been striving to make this
point clear for more than half a decade by working on bridging the two software
(https://povconverter.wordpress.com). It felt lonely at times, like kayaking in
the middle of a storm. I still hope it will change in the near future and
contuning this effort will finally let us reach that other shore. We could use a
few more hands, though.
