I enjoy those masterpieces as well. But still, something keeps bugging
me. There is saying "stupid but persistent". I hope that when I get
enough time for persistence of vision, then perhaps I can make something
good. Or at least better than my previous works. Perhaps when I
retire...

> Why do the developers of POV-Ray do it?
I'm not sure if I count as a developer. The motivation for me is a desire for
a particular feature. If someone else was willing to do it, I'd be happy to
let them, but there is only so much each person can do. Collectively it winds
up as something pretty amazing though.

That would be nice.

I trace more than I program, or at least I used to. When you're programming,
you tend to make a lot of demo scenes and not too much complex artsy shyt.
It's really hard to do both. Maybe when scientists find a cure for sleep...

Thought I was in the p.o-t. group at first.
Just occured to me, wonder whatever happened to Govert Zoethout and those
thought provoking images he always posted with letters for titles?
Back on-topic:
Well, it pains me to think any POV-Ray developer might not be ray tracing some
works of art, if so many of us are in that same boat ;-) except remember
that art is subjective and such.
It's a lot to do with the fascinating computer-generation side of it all too
probably, at least I sure get a thrill out of knowing the pictures are
actually comprised of 1's and 0's.
And you couldn't say everyone is a great artist or great programmer, just many
more in-betweens. I'm content with being that, if I can even dare say I'm
in-between, so long as I don't dwell on it too long :-)
I often wonder how much is done by the POV-Team renderwise because it seems to
go along with the job title (pardon my language please). Demo scenes are all
we ever see from them practically. You'd have to go looking up their names
for web pages of uploaded stuff besides. Something I have seldom done.

He ran out of letters.

While those would be nice, it doesn't seem to work out that way. I work on
POV for a number of reasons. First and foremost, I love to program, and
even more, I love to program computer graphics. I love the challange of
"solving the puzzle" to add the new feature. Secondly, it gives me
opportunities to work on a large project and gain experience that will be
helpful in my future work. Finally, I must echo Ron in saying that I'm an
egomainiac. ;-)

When I started working with POV, I was a user/artist, and enjoyed
participating in the IRTC. Since I began programming POV (UVPov, MegaPov,
and now the official version), I've had less and less time to create
artwork. I hope to get back into it soon (but probably not until after the
release of POV 3.5).
