The Big House apps are apparently developed in-house and with some 
exceptions are not available to the general public.

I am working on a modeler which to exports POV-Ray .INC files of the 
model, which can be posed if the proper variable are set before calling 
the file.  I intend to add scene-building in an upcoming version.  I am 
giving up video gaming for a year, starting in January, so I should have 
a great deal more time for working on this.

It is presently at a level that some users would call "kinda sucky and 
frustrating," but it's better than trying to model a head with 
hand-edited SDL.

Which is why I'm writing one of my own, because I don't have the $$$ for 
a high-class modeling app, either.
