Most of the blocks in hatblock6.jpg could be done quite trivially with CSG
using spheres, cones, planes, toroids and/or lathes. The large hatblock in
the background and the one in hatblock1.jpg, however, are probably too
difficult to be hand-modeled in Pov.

Wings3D (http://www.wings3d.com) could model these shapes pretty well.
Wings is not a render so you'd have to then use Crossroads (or something
similar) to export the shapes from Wings into Povray for rendering. Wings
is fairly easy to use (much easier than Blender) and at $0, you won't find
anything chaper.
OpenFX (http://www.openfx.org) might also be worth a try.
