Persistence of Vision Ray Tracer (POV-Ray) is a photo-realistic
raytracer better know for being the application behind [Reach for the
stars][1], 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][2] shown here was done that way). For those who don't want to
type, [Meshwork][3] and [Mondfarilo][4], among other programs, export
to POV-Ray mesh format.

Oddity with version numbering (3.6.2): The ReadMe file says version
3.62, the file when extracted says 3.6.2, the application icon returns
3.6.1 (build 0197) with "Get Info" in the Finder and the application's
Splash screen returns 3.6.0 (build 0197) when running (see screenshot
1 above).
