(Also at the risk that I'm again number one of your list)
If you use POV-Ray and write the scenes yourself (without a modeler)
there is no difference to 'programming'.
POV-Ray is just an interpreter to translate SDL to a binary image.
SDL is rather close to a subset of C, I always wonder whether the
deviations are unfortunate coincidences.
At least inheritance (of textures, objects, ...) is an OO feature of
POV-Ray's SDL.
