Excellent, I see, that we are going on parallel courses - lack of a 
goodmodelling environment forces us to make proprietary tools. I'm in one
step of completing first release of Cinema4D to POV converter.

Now it supports:
1. Primitives: sphere, cube, cone, cylinder, plane, spline, mesh2.
2. Boolean operations: union, difference, intersection.
3. Constructive operations: extrude(prism).

I'm working on sphere sweep and lathe now.
In attachment are results of C4D's 'Cloner' work.

May be this set of macros will help ?:
