I'm sorry posting this (I know it's way off topic) but I'd hate to see this 
happening...
The company who owns the Blender license is getting out of business. So, 
people started a campain, in order to buy the source code of blender and 
release it to the comunity.

The link to more info is

http://www.blender3d.com/

Again, sorry about this absolute off-topic - but maybe some of you would 
find this important.
Oh, yes. I have nothing to do with this site, nor I will contribute. It's 
just Blender is so well-spoken, I thought some of You could find useful to 
know.
And sorry about my (bad) english.

It is not out off topic, because there exist python scripts, which convert
Blender scene to povray file. Two different versions exists.

1) PovAnim: http://jmsoler.free.fr/util/blenderfile/povanim.htm
    (this script is usable for povray3.5)
2) povExport.py http://www.janw.gothere.uk.com/exportmesh.html#povray1
    (you have to modify this script a little bit:
    "import Blender" -> import Blender210 as Blender
    this is usable for povray3.1, povray3.5)
