Blaze a new trail, and others may follow!

I've tried Wings3D but I miss some kind of spline object (although there are 
work arounds).

Can MilkShape do splines or organic shapes at all?

How about 'booleans' (given the limitations of meshes)?  i.e. cut a cylinder 
out of something or slicing a plane through something.

I try and stay away from mesh objects in general - most of POVRay's best 
features work much better (or at all) on it's other native objects, but for 
somethings meshes do work better.
