     Hi Peter, trust me, standards haven't generally dropped, this was
a fairly hard round to respond to in any raytracing terms, and as you
can see, a school class entered, and to me, that's very important, but
still hard for them - I think it's good that they entered, but I hope
a few will follow through with PoV...

  *Where* did you see your scores??

most of theses were using bryce as the renderer.

    Bryce may have been obtained through the schools 'students'
program if they have one. Yes, they could have obtained PoV, but PoV
is a little harder to learn in the time sequence for a competition
entry... BUt, that's not to say Bryce isn't hard to learn anyway...

     Well, I think it depends on the subject, but people won't be put
off. The IRTC over the years will get SO much better.

     Stick around and see what happens...  ;)
