| Some times very confusing,

|
| But fascinating.
I know, I wonder how accurate or even true all those statistics are there
sometimes. Not easy to understand the times without more information.
Although one was the IBM demonstration from a while ago which is stated on the
main page.

Seems not many people do this kind of thing for actual purposes other than art
for arts sake.
Great little historical account in your message post about your experiences
with POV.
| Question: is there a history about
| first television broadcast with POV
| generated pictures?
Any history of anything about POV might be difficult to find. I find some
things about POV-Ray in the old PovZine at www.povray.org/povzine/ however
very little there.
| I wanted to create a video about a city
| in the future. But I discovered that
| I need a solution for the shadow areas.
| An array of 9*9 light sources was the
| solution, but 1 picture in TV quality
| was now 20 hours.

|
| A calculation showed
| 20 hours * 25 pictures per second
| * 300 seconds gives 150000 hours
| on my notebook or 50000 hours on
| a Pentium 90.
|
| But when I look in the benchmark
| on the top results about 250 times
| faster than an old P90, the whole
| video could be in only 200 hours.
|
| It's frustrating, I have just right now
| no time for it, but I hope next year,
| I can invest some month in my
| city of the future video project.
Hopefully you can and will though.
Bob
