There's many ways. Modelers, by procedure, stitch manually, convert obj 
models to mesh2.

For procedural there is meshmaker.inc in the distribution and in the 
insert menu/special shapes/meshes by meshmaker.inc you can find examples 
for that.

For conversion (.obj files) there is Poseray. Also useful in combination 
with modelers as many don't support POV-Ray directly.

For modelers, there are a lot of them. Some free, many at relative low 
cost and the high end modellers. Almost all can export to .obj files.

Have fun!
