POV-Ray does implicit surfaces very easily (using its isosurface
feature), but he might find animation in POV-Ray more difficult than in
Blender.

You could make a surface from a mathematical function in Blender using
texture nodes and the displacement modifier...if the surface can be
described as normal displacements from a plane or other shape that is.
