(Answer by Henri Sivonen)
Yes there are. However, a text editor is still needed.
Most of the available modelers are listed on the Official POV-Ray MacOS Info Page (http://mac.povray.org/).
DOS, Windows and Linux i386 modelers can be used with an Intel PC emulator. With MkLinux (http://www.mklinux.apple.com/) or LinuxPPC (http://www.linuxppc.org/), Linux-compatible applications with freely available source code can be compiled and then run natively.
There are literaly hundreds of POV-Ray users galleries. Almost anybody that uses POV-Ray and has a web page has some sort of picture gallery set up. Look for web page address's at the bottoms of the messages posted to the newsgroup comp.graphics.rendering.raytracing and the povray newsgroups.
There are 2 places officially supported by the Pov team. They are:
- The POV-Ray users gallery located at http://www.povray.org/
- A private news server (not connected with USENET) operated by the POV Team: http://www.povray.org/groups.html In the povray.binaries.images newsgroup, you will find many images posted from other POV-Ray users. There are also discussion groups, and plenty of sample code and scenes.
You should also check the Internet Raytracing Competition homepage (http://www.irtc.org/).
Check the POV-Ray links (http://povray.org/links/3D_Programs/Height_Field_Modelling_Programs_and_Utilities/).
A program called Tree designer by Johannes Hubert (http://free.prohosting.com/~jhubert/TreeDesigner/) is an excellent modelling program for trees.
There are also a several good include files for this purpose. Check POV-Ray Include Macro and Object Files (http://www.povray.org/links/POV-Ray_Include_Macro_and_Object_Files/).
