My problem with most modellers is that most of them don't approach objects in
the same way as the POV-Ray scene code does.  For instance, in POV you can
make a cylinder this way:

cylinder {  <2.3,0,1.2>,<-2.3,0,1.2>,.4 texture { MyTexture } }

In every modeller I've ever seen, you essentially have to do this:

cylinder { 0,z,1
  scale <.4,.4,4.6>
  rotate y*90
  translate <-2.3,0,1.2>
  texture { MyTexture }
}

Which is counter-intuitive and seems to create bigger scene code.

Furthermore, none of the shareware or freeware modellers have a mesh editor
(which is why I wrote one in *BASIC* of all things).
