Does anyone know of a program to convert AutoCad DWG files to POV-Ray files?
It should be possible to convert a AutoCad sphere into a POV-Ray sphere,
instead of an AutoCad sphere into a DXF file into a POV-Ray triangle mesh.

As an autocad user of a few years I have found no program that will directly
convert .dwg to .pov. If you locate one let me know. I generaly export as
a .3ds file just for file size sake but it is like you say a 3 way converion
process regardless.
