I agree with the fact that things have to be defined very precisely. It's true that a
lot of POV
features allow to make very 'fantastic' images. But I think these features were
originaly made
to improve the realistic touch.Showing POV capabilities is not only making beautiful
pictures
using lens-flare everywhere, surrealistic lights.
I am not a real-only POV user. But in this sort of project (I suppose), it should be
"The"
interesting part.
