This one is probably the most-relevant to POV-Ray; people simply wanting 
to 'get into 3D rendering' are far more likely to be drawn to one of the 
big names like 3DS or Maya.

I'm not aware of (though I don't get out much) an equivalent of 
isosurface elsewhere in the world of CGI.

For programming, there are also far more popular languages which have 
direct applicability to real-world skill of being able to claim you are 
fluent in.

 From what I've read[citation needed], POV-Ray is somewhat popular for 
data visualisation for astronomy and such.  Since this specific thread 
is sociopolitical, perhaps generating some nice graphs from crunched 
numbers of related data would be a draw for sociologists?
