For NaNoGenMo 2019, I used POVRay heavily to create a fictional catalog of
starships and space vehicles.  It's supposed to look like classified ads from
the future.

The code is a lot of Perl to recursively build a POVRay scene file.  The
starships are collections of POVRay objects (cubes, half-spheres, cylinders,
etc), and then a CSG subtraction / union / mirror to achieve symmetrical results
- either bilateral for shuttle-looking things, or radial for space stations.

You can see the completed output on Internet Archive:

and you can view the code or read much more about the project on Github:

Without POVRay this project would have been impossible to complete!
