Sorry, but there is more than just triangles in Povray: despite the
usual approach of the majority of rendering engine, a sphere in Povray
is not, at any time, transformed as a set of planar faces.

The same hold true for most primitives of Povray, as well as for CSG
operations.

If your Povray scene is made of mesh objects (collection of triangles),
then the adaptation to the stl file format might just be a matter of
massaging the syntax. (but that does not sound easy either)
