In defense of Mr. Roseboom: You know, I was thinking about something as I
re-read the compitition rules. If a person just did not know what raytracing
was, there is very little in the text that would let them know or give them
a good idea. Judging from the interaction I have with customers where I
work, when it comes to anything technical ( i.e. what raytracing and 3d
modeling are) most people need it spelled out for them.
IMHO I think that it is possible that the text on the IRTC site may make too
much of an assumption regarding the prospective contestant's knowledge of 3d
graphics.
Just my own opinion though and I think that the concensus of the admin team
should prevail.
