The Povray intermediate file generated when you do 'ray renderer = 1'
contains all vertices, normals and colouring information for cartoon
and surface object types. However you do need to produce a parsing
script to extract these in to a useful form for importing into other
programs. Have a look at the front cover of Mol Cell vol 20(4) - I
generated a cartoon of the protein in PyMol, output it as a povray
file, and then converted it to VRML using a jiffy produced by Chris
Richardson, and then used it as an object in the Blender 3D modelling
package to generate the picture.
Of course it would be a whole lot easier if PyMol output VRML directly

I am interested in the coordinates of the vertices of the mesh
representation of the molecular surface. Is there any method to read
them out?
Thanks
Me too. With coloring and/or other "property" information as well.
