POV raytrace

[dr0591]

I've been reading over on Chieftalk about a raytrace program called POV-Ray. It appears that this program is freely distributable, you don't have to buy it. Do any of you know how complicated this is to use and whether it would work with HD Pro files?

From what I can tell from a quick reading of some of the basic information about the program on their website, you have to enter all the scene parameters into the program via a special text file. Is this file something HD Pro can create, or would I have to code it all by hand?

Thanks for whatever info you can share about this.
