Hi all -
Is it possible to use the .obj files found at this site:
http://planetpixelemporium.com/mars.html
(at the bottom)
in pov?
If so , could someone give me pointers on how?

Much appreciated!

It is a pleasure to tell you  that there is an excellent free converter : 
PoseRay

PoseRay worked great! Thanks!
The only problem I'm still having is getting an image to map on the
resulting objects - I'm trying to use the maps from that same website -
it's not working.
Is there a trick I'm missing?
Thanks,
OpPl

Usually you ned to show the path for the image_maps to PoseRay in the 
'materials' tab
sometimes you need to convert some compressed formats to formats readable by 
POV ('convert' button, still in the materials page)
