Hi,
On my home page I have a large collection of Macro files and a great
many of the files in the .zip have an example of how to use them
included. Follow the first link in my sig.
As far as models are concerned it depends on what type of model you
are talking about. If it is a POV-Ray model in a .pov or .inc file
you can simply include it in your scene file. If it is in another
format such as .dxf or .3ds then you will need to convert it into
a format that POv-Ray can recogonize. This is usually done by a
3rd party software which will convert the model into a union or
mesh of triangles. Two very good utilities for this are 3DWin
and Crossroads -
