Actually I like that idea. Have a compo each 2 months, but announce the
topic of each compo 3 monts before its deadline (or something along the
lines).

I support this idea. Having more than 2 months to think about a round would
be very nice.

Respectfully, I must disagree rather strongly.
Prizes, especially very valuable ones, tend to
attract mercenary participants and bring out their
worst behaviors.
Also, large prizes tend to come from corporate sponsors
who never GIVE anything to anybody. One way or another
sponsors will see to it that a contest is skewed to
promote THEIR products. IF there are going to be
any prizes, I would much prefer that they remain
small token prizes to enhance the fun of participating,
say a coffee cup with the winning image.
Best Regards,
Mike C.

Prizes were never an important part of the IRTC. The vast majority of
entrants enter not to win something physical but for the satisfaction of
doing so. They also benefit from the respect of their peers.
If we were to have prizes at all, I would prefer that they be relevant
(e.g. a poster print of, perhaps, the winning image, or some other image of
the entrants choosing).

One thing we might want to consider is whether or not, this time around, we
decide that IRTC stands for 'raytracing competition' or 'rendering
competition'. Officially it's always stood for 'raytracing competition',
even though the IRTC permitted scanline rendered images to be submitted.
My personal feeling is that I would like to see the IRTC be a raytracing
competition. I'm sure there are other places that folks who use scanline
renderers can compete; there are fewer opportunities for raytracer users
to compete with others using only raytracing.

But then we get into questions about GI renderers that don't follow the
traditional raytracing paradigm.
Personally, I've always thought of it as a POV-Ray competition anyway,
even if it wasn't the official POV-Comp ;)

I would like a puzzle (1000+ pieces) of the picture ;-)
This amplifies any mistake :-)

If they render by tracing rays, they are raytracers.
I think the more relevant question is whether hybrid renderers are
acceptable. In other words, those which render the "first recursion
level" by scanline-rendering, and deeper recursion levels (reflections,
refractions, shadows...) by raytracing.

My own personal opinion is similar to yours. The IRTC is hosted on the PovRay
server so it seems natural that it should be for PovRay rendered images. But the
IRTC has historically permitted scanline rendered images to be submitted and it
reaches a wide audience. So we have two contests now. The TINA CHeP which was
born on these newsgroups is really only known here. So I propose that the IRTC
should be open to all computer art and with St's agreement and permission TINA
CHeP is a PovRay only challenge.
Regards
Stephen
