What?! No web page to go to for a download?!  :-)

I might finally have a reason to install the Maya demo I have here, which
hopefully is 4.0--- oh, it is not, only version 2.5  :-(

Anyway, sounds like the only major commercial program export to POV-Ray, I
would know of anyway.  Any plans to have a import from POV to Maya?  That
would be a holy grail.
