I would love a converter from STEP files to POV SDL.  STEP files are a 
standard format for interchange of 3D CAD data, and are made up of bounded 
planes, spheres, torii and bezier patches etc.  I don't know of any software 
that can render these files without tesselating to a triangle mesh first.
