Well, they did add links to a few images in the IRTC on the main page of
the povray web site. It seems to me that the IRTC acts as a kind of Hall
of Fame. I think that the POV-Ray website should link to the really good
IRTC entries that are made in POV-Ray.
As a matter of who decides, the POV-Ray development team has the final
choice, but I think that people should encouraged to send in their non
IRTC entries to be considered. (Yes, that means HE and Gilles should
just send in their hard drives. ; ) )
I also realize that this is a bit more work for the developers. Maybe
the TAG team can manage the new hall of fame, or perhaps they will ask
for volunteers, which of course I would volunteer for.

The more I stare at it the stranger it becomes. But that's how I like
it.
This is unquestionably the most fascinating picture I have ever seen.

I am unable to sjake the feeling that it is a very peculiar image. I can't put
my finger on it.
I agree the person is blurred too much.
What you said about the hydrant, in my case applies to the paper machine.

Remember, in the readme.txt he does refer to the person as a "ghost".

I didn't say emphasize. I said to consider them first.

Yes, but a major reason for a hall of fame is to show what a cool
piece of software POV-Ray is. Photorealism accomplishes that.
I'd like to amend my suggestion above to read:
"The criteria should *include* photorealism and artistic value."

I never said you couldn't make a few bucks with it. I have made a little
money (OK, $10) with POV. What I said is that serious 3D graphics work, esp.
in the movie industry relies on expensive programs such as Max. It's not our
fault, things have always been like that.

can get my hands on to buy that Playstation 2 when I comes out. :D
