Hi All

How about an annual festival of pov where all pov artists contribute their
best pic of the year and then advertise this widely in the graphics
newsgroups.

All the best

Mick

Nice idea. Although, as far as figuring out what my "best" POV-Ray
render is from the past year, that would be a triumph in itself, mostly
because there's rarely a finished image but a lot so because I can't
tell what's good. The bad ones are easy, so maybe a Best and Worst of
'99 might help decide. Just have to have both to participate. What say
of that?
Would there be a vote as in IRTC or similar?

I have Bob's problem in that I rarely finish my images, but I'm in.

 First - I'm all for promoting Pov-Ray and the artist inside all of us.

  After seeing five replies which were for the most part positive I have
not seen anyone bring up a few important questions in regard to the content
of the posted message.

>>> How about an annual festival of pov where all pov artists contribute

1.) Who is going to manage and coordinate this festive ocassion ?
    Someone should form a comittee to hold discussions on this issue.
    Where this committee feels specific actions should be taken they
    then can choose to splinter into seperate areas of concern and
    form subcommities to further the dicussions toward deciding a
    reasonable action for the area of concern in question.

2.)   Where will the artwork be displayed and if the intention was to
    post it here is the newsgroup administator going to be happy with
    the extra file load ?

3.)  Additionaly there was mention of advertizing the exsistence of this
    contest to the outside graphics community. If the art were presented
    here there is a good chance that there would be a large increase of
    traffic that would be on a level not normaly seen on this server. I
    ask again is this something the newsgroup administrator would like
    on his nice, quite, cozy, and private little server ? How do you feel
    about the possibility of added non Pov related traffic in your
    groups ? Do you really want to invite that kind of crowd ?


  I like to know about these sticky little details before my enthusiasm
gets the better of me and thought I would at least raise these issues
before anything concrete comes from it.

Cherio,

Nah... this is a festival, to celebrate the joy of POVing... why turn it into a
competition?

However, I'd like a "Worst image" category, as long as no "best images"
accidently got stuck in there :)
