you know, when watching tech-demos like that one of the CryEngine2, I 
sometimes wonder why I'm still working with slow raytrace-renderers like 
POV-Ray.  The images rendered at, say, 30fps by Crysis are much more 
realistic than what I could do in months POVSDL-coding, parsing and 
tracing, at about 20hpf (hours per frame).  So I sometimes even wonder 
what's the point of raytracing, those games-engines seem to be much more 
interesting?

but looking at an image like this, I realise games-engines still have a 
very long way to go :)

and so do I :-/ :)

cu!

(oh, btw, anyone who could explain me, in simple terms, how the realtime 
ambient-maps (which look to me as realtime radiosity) could be done in 
crysis? :-/)
