  Yes, there are some famous macro sets made by people which handle
meshes. For example the surface subdivision suite (by John VanSickle),
which allows automatically making a mesh more detailed than the original,
as well as the POV-Ray compressed mesh handler macros (by Chris Colefax),
which allow you to make a wide variety of things to meshes, such as
deformations, morphing, hair-growing, etc.

  They can be found at these places:

  (Note that due to the fact that (currently) you can't extract information
from a mesh inside POV-Ray, the meshes have to be converted to a specialized
format called PCM, which these macros can handle. The converter can be
found at the second link above.)
