That might be but I think that photorealism is too demanding on both 
time and my abilities. I am more interested in animations. So multiply 
the rendering time for a scene by 1500 for each minute of the video. :(

Do you need to find other solutions when PovRay is based on physically 
realistic rendering?
IMO It is up to the artist to use the tools as they can. It is not as if 
you get drummed out of the club for disagreeing.

As it is in life. I've often used software modules for something other 
than what they are intended for. Because it works and is cheaper and 
quicker than getting a bespoke module written.
