Hi David, indeed hi all as this is only my first proper post.

I've found that this works best if, in Rhino, you mesh each polysurface
individually using the 'Mesh' tool, rather than saving all NURBS to a POV
file with the default settings.
Also, when meshing, use the 'Detailed Controls' and play about with the
settings.  For best results, reduce the 'Max Angle' setting to an
appropriate value (this is the angle that the NURBS surface must sweep
through before a new facet is created and as you can imagine, the default
value of 20 is a bit 'dirty' and would only split a circle into an 18 sided
polygon).


Hope that helps :)

Damian

PS, Nice image :)
