My point exactly :) With all the developers currently discussing the future
of POV-Ray, the major selling point of a renderer (i.e. rendering quality)
is mysteriously absent. And when one person dares showing up with some
interesting ideas and a working piece of software, the poor guy gets told
off because he *** gasp *** made the mistake of pressing twice on the send
key.
Really, rendering algorithms are all over the place these days and
implemented in many renderers, free or commercial.

Implementing them is certainly challenging, but finding interesting
algorithms and looking at their various practical implementations is not.
