Hi !
Indeed you can do about the same things in Blender through Python, that is
specifying some primitives or mesh elements and their coordinates, etc.
We used such features to create Blender's POV-Ray importer and exporter, their
best implementation is in current stable version (blender 2.79)


Do not hesitate to ask questions, POV-Converter has a Facebook page, a
Wordpress, a gmail account and my personal email is at hotmail fr
