Modern alternative to POVray scene description languade [closed]

Solution 1:

No, not at the current time.

Among open source raytracers you have Luxrender, Yafaray, Sunflow and Aqsis, but none of them supports creating scenes with a scene description language as with POVRay. Only simple POVRay scenes has the potential to be converted to other formats, since it is not declarative, but a script language.

It is possible to write XML for Yafaray, but it does not have the same capabilities.
