I've used Pov-ray for several years. Sometimes I've needed a particular image for some task or other. Other times I've just played with the program to see what I could do. Most of the images I render don't merit keeping around, sometimes one does and then I'll put it up here.
Povray includes a powerfull scene description language. With this language you can develop rather complicated programs, such as a ray-tracer. (Yes, that is a ray-tracer programmed within a ray-tracer.) I used the documentation for that project to write my own simplistic PHP-raytracer.
More typical uses of this programming language would to create objects which can then be placed in multiple locations within a scene or to create an object with an algorithm rather than hand-coding it. The "Tron Tank" model is the only one displayed here which does not take advantage of the features of this programming language.
