I guess POV-Ray is pretty much a dying technology at this point. I have 
no idea what the cool kids are using these days; probably some 
GPU-accelerated polygon renderer with global light transport.

It's a shame there isn't something modern that has a scene description 
language like the SDL. But then again, if you actually have the talent 
to model stuff, what do you need SDL for?

(I guess it's a bit like how nobody uses MetaFont. For all its technical 
excellence, the kind of people who have the graphic design skills to 
design typefaces don't want to be programmers; they want to be graphic 
designers!)
