Why so much pain?

Povanim is the povray exporter listed in the Blender resources pages.  It works
nicely enough and is able to export even internal Blender textures as
image_maps or radiosity settings.  Comes with its own graphical interface
integrated in Blender.  I used it once for getting a ply model of the Standford
bunny into povray, after some adjustments to the mesh in Blender.
