Except for mesh/mesh2 objects, all objects in POV-Ray are purely 
mathematical entities. A sphere, for example, is an object whose surface 
is located at a given radius from a center.

Another difference from most modelers and rendereds that use UV maping, 
is that the textures are defined in 3D space and you can see the objects 
as been carved out of a texture. UV maping IS supported, but only for a 
few objects, like mesh.


Apparently, the stl format use some mesh representation of your objects.
