Well, we sent messages and press releases to several web sites and forums
(computer graphics, magazines, slashdot etc.). We got at best a few nice
comments, but often it wasn't acknowledged at all. I sent it to a website
specialised in art in space, for instance, and got no reply... The folks at
DAZ3D (who made the kid model) didn't want to carry the story because they
thought that the "making of" was too critical of the model! After a couple
of weeks of trying to get this story getting known without much results I
personally called it quits. We certainly hoped it would snowball somehow but
that didn't happen.
I think now that while the rendering-in-space story makes sense for POV-Ray
users, it's too abstract for those who don't know about computer graphics so
the pic is just an image among many others ; for those who know CG (but
don't care about POV-Ray) the image itself isn't good enough to be noticed,
