Probably not. There are two export types -- what I call Cartesian and
RayTracer. There isn't much difference, but POV-Ray is on the Ray-Tracer
side, and IDTF/VRML/Maya are on the Cartesian side. I'm not certain there
really has to be a difference, and honestly I can't remember why it was set
up that way -- probably a flawed design idea anyway -- but it's what we
have.
Define "object".
