POV-Ray's scene description language is very adept for modeling and
rendering objects that are made up of spheres, tori, cylinders, cones,
boxes, and the like. However, the SDL is not very good at representing
organic shapes like humans and animals.
Therefore many users develop the organic characters in a modeling
application and export it to POV-Ray, and then incorporate that exported
model into a POV-Ray scene that also contains models that the SDL does well.
