Sometimes it's already hard to be credited at all, so crediting the renderer
itself has a low priority for magazine editors, unless the article deals
specifically with a particular renderer or compares renderers. It does make
sense, because 3D artists tend to use a lot of tools, the renderer being
only one of them. Even for my images, the tools "shown off" could also be
Xfrog, Poser, Rhino etc. which are commercial ones and more known to the
readers.
The images in 3Dmag and Informatik-Spektrum are/will be clearly labelled as
POV-Ray ones however.
