Couple of questions that you might not be able to answer.

1. What 3D format does it use natively? What can it import and export?
2. Can I recreate this script using it?

http://lib.povray.org/searchcollection/index2.php?objectName=LegoRoad&version=2.5.5&contributorTag=SharkD

3. How does it handle materials/textures? Can they be generated 
programmatically as well or are only bitmap textures supported?
