No, not for a couple of years at least. Until then Pov will be a
reference point. The way Moray was when I started using Bishop3D.
it in case anyone thought I had died. There has been too many people
not turning up in the morning. So that is me. Considerate to the end. :-)

engine. But to be honest photorealistic rendering is not so important to
me. I am more interested in animations. I heard about PovRay when I was
using Fractint and it mentioned that Pov could use the *.pot files
Fractint could export. I intended to make a fly-through of one of their
plasma fractals as it looked like a good basis for a landscape. I never
got round to it.

I kind of have the opposite problem. I can't find a modeling app that
can be controlled 100% from a text file/script.

What about OpenSCAD:
http://www.openscad.org/
http://forum.openscad.org/
It's open source, available for Linux, BSD, OS X & Windows
- and has a functional programming language.

Many cad programms allow that i.i.r.c you can run https://brlcad.org/
completely from the command line, or try AutoLisp in AutoCAD ;)
Sculpting through a text interface looks cumbersome, imagine it in front

should have added, when you get into quad-mesh modeling and subdivisions
you need to do quite a bit of mesh clean ups to prevent all kinds of
degeneration on subdividing. Especially when adding, intersecting and
substracting meshes. Doubt that can be done with a text interface,

I'm looking for something that renders LEGO faster than POV-Ray.
For instance Yafaray or SunFlow.
Haven't figured out what the workflow should be though.
