POV-Ray is a photo-realistic raytracer better know for being the application behind Reach for the stars, an image rendered aboard the International Space Station. It can also do animations and 3D modeling, including creating its own textures, although it's all done by hand-coding (The submarine image shown here was done that way). For those who don't want to type, Meshwork and Mondfarilo, among other programs, export to POV-Ray mesh format. This is version 3.61.

Comments
There's a newer version, 3.62, but it's a zipped DMG file and I haven't been able to unzip it correctly (the resource fork always gets split):

Can anybody with a Mac OS X machine and a Classic emulator convert it to a stuffed Disk Copy image and update this page? Thanks in advance.
