All of which get broken down into triangles so graphic accelerators can show
you a fast preview.  If you had ever looked at more than just the absolute
basic parts of POV-Ray you would have noticed blobs, sors and other more
complex object types that are far superior when modeling organic shapes than
any kind/implementation of nurbs.
