Not too sure what you mean when you say "saving", saving what?

If I export a mesh as 3ds then import it, some objects are displaced.
If I export a mesh as Obj then import it, it is fine.
Both methods loose any hierarchies built using "empty" objects.
Using 3ds I have to scale up by 100 after importing.
3ds imported model is not as smooth as the Obj one. (See attached image, 
3ds is the one at the top. Incidentally Blender hung after Pov rendered 
this and I had to cheat to render it to post it here.)

Question:
How do you pass commands from Blender to PovRay. Such as output types 
and save file?
How do you pass PovRay materials in Blender?

I'm too new to Blender I should not be trying to run before I can walk.
But heigh ho! that's life.
