You at least need to get your models in a format POV-Ray understands (mesh 
or mesh2) or some format that file converters understand. The syntax is in 
the reference and an example is in the manual.

The next step depends on what you animate. Is it only moving the camera or 
object(s) around, you can probably better code these movements in POV-Ray. 
It would mean that you have to create/export the mesh-objects only once.

If the object itself is changed during the animation, you'll probably have 
to export the object on a per frame base.
