You'll need 3 programs...
POV-Ray
L3P
L3PAddOn

POVRay - DL and install it first
www.povray.org
L3P - To convert your .DAT files to .POV
http://www.netby.net/Nord/Mandelvej/Hassing/l3p.html
L3PAddOn - To make using L3P *much* easier
http://www.flash.net/~onyx/L3PAO/L3PAO.html
Install all 3 of these, then use L3PAddOn to select your model and convert it.
Load the .POV file in POV Ray and start rendering.
Leaving all settings (in all programs) on the defaults will be a good place to
start, you can play with things once you get comfortable.
