You are speaking of a competition quite different from IRTC.

  From the rules:

"Any rendering program is acceptable."

"Images must not be enhanced or altered ('post-processed') by use of
paint programs such as PhotoShop(tm) etc."

"Examples of unacceptable post-processing would be adding lens-glare,
tinting skies, or using filters such as motion blur."

  If this is not a competition between rendering packages, then what is?

"Paint programs may be used for the creation of image maps and the like,
but may not be used to alter the rendered image."

  Your principle would mean that you can't use a painting program to
make textures by hand.
  What you are saying is that you must make the image completely
algorithmically and that hand-drawing is not acceptable. This is
not the IRTC. This is something different.
