The .df3 format is well documented in the POV manual...it's an extremely 
simple 3D voxel format.

Well, POV is written in ordinary C, so you might have trouble mixing 
your C++ code in. It might be better to write a new version in POV from 
the start, using the POV vector and object handling code that already 
exists.

The Intersection() function can get all of this information, you could 
also find the All_Intersections(), Inside(), and Normal() functions 
useful.
