Looking for something totally different? Well then, you might be interested in
POVCOMP 2004, an international free-to-enter competition with over $14,000 worth of prizes, including the ultimate dream graphics PC. All you have to do to enter is submit something using the POV-Ray raytracer. Easier said than done considering that its text-based. The most I ever got out of it was a nice set of very shiny rendered balls. Looking at POVComp's
hall of fame, though, it appears that others have had more success... and not by submitting balls with bits stuck on either... :-)
In other news, we've been enjoying an utter deluge of quality work into the community gallery recently. In order to cut down the rush of uninspiring photography, however, the
forum rules have been altered a tad. Please read them closely, and then we can get back to making this the excellent community into which it seems to be evolving.
