Since I never played with VirtuaLight I can say only from my point of view which
is POV focused:
- I do not see link to sources on VirtualLight homepage
- I do not see binaries for other platforms on their site
- I know that some of their planned features are already available in POV as
patches (HDRI, support for shader scripts, motion blur, post-processing) since
times of POV 3.1 and earlier
- looking at the gallery I do not see any image which coould be not faked with
POV-Ray by some of the POV artists I know
- it wasn't used in Soyuz ;-)

But I'm sure there are reasons why this tool has three different forums and so
pretty fast development. That's good there is an alternative to raytracing.
