Doubtful. The difference in speed is just too great. Sure, you could
raytrace an image that looks incredible, or scanline render an image with
100x the number of moving objects on screen at 4x the resolution. We'd have
to get to the point where raytracing could operate at 60fps with hundreds of
objects to make people give up scanline rendering.
