Hay, what is everyone doing for the "High Contrast" subject?
At first I thought of doing Morgoth and Mandose, but that's way over my
head. An idea for someone smarter then me. :-)

My idea's not working very well yet... I'll get back to you when I have
something that looks less like a polygon scrambled egg :)

Hmm... I started doing an ice cube and a frame, but it isn't working very
well. Maybe I'll just follow my normal style and do lots of black and white
primitives.

I'm still building the geometry for Factory for mine... the texturing is
going to take forever... (I'm going to "hand paint" the textures in
Photoshop this time)

Well, since I figured there'd be lots of abstract art in this one, I decided
to go for the biggest contrast of all and do something more or less
realistic (maybe that's a 'meta-contrast'?).  Within the pic, I'm doing as
many "contrasts" as I can as well (dark and light, rough and smooth, dull
and shiny on the rendering front, plus conceptual contrasts.) I'll probably
have about a dozen contrasting elements in the pic, centered around two
primary figures.

I'm going more for the "interpretation of theme" than visual contrast.

I hope I still get good results on the technical an artistic side as
well as this is my first entry.

I'm going along the same lines, much more of a themed entry... although I'm
trying to introduce purely visual contrasts too.  This will be my third
entry (if it ever gets finished!  LOL), the first being a still done in
POV-Ray, and the second an animation done in POV-Ray, ahh, those were the
days :)

I think I've improved a lot technically and artistically since then (at
least I hope so anyway ;)

The theme for this round really seems to have captured the interest of
the pov community in a way that I've never seen before, it's usually
about two weeks before the end of the round before anyone gets inspired,
but for this round is seems to be inspiring from the word go. 

I think we're in for a real treat judging by the enthusiasm being shown
at the moment.

I'm thinking along the same lines. This'll be my first entry (I dabbled in
POV-Ray a couple years ago and just now picked it up again.), so it's more
of an exercize for me, but right after noting what the subject was I read in
chess news that Kasparov just lost the world championship... after 15 years.
I decided on a chess theme, starting with the chessboard and extending to
the room and out to the environment.

Sounds interesting, and almost Escher-like :)

I don't think I'll get my entry done in time, too busy writing ASP :\

Good luck! :)
