Hi all,

I rendered molecules for two years with povray and all I learned in this
time were fading area lights, some backgrounds and focal blur.
Why? Because in my opinion, povray is difficult to learn.

Since I saw my personal Mt. Everest ( "wet bird" from Gilles Tran) I have

phothograph.
Now my 4th IRTC entry is my 5th complete scene and I have still difficulties

povray like Gilles Tran, it would last 10 years at least.

So I think to use modelers or even foreign models is acceptable if there is
a central model or technique, which is completely carried out by oneself.
Even then I have to invest several 100 hours for each entry.


this way.
