That seems to be an interesting idea... I might be inclined to second that
proposal :-)

Stupid question I could google later: is blender a ray tracer?
RE: TOPICS
One of the things I liked the least about the IRTC was that its Topic Suggestion
System was constantly spammed ;-) by folks seemingly biased towards wooden
demonstration of exhaustive photorealism rather than fun storytelling. The
coolest thing about the TC-RTC is its topic system, which is based on a
collection of some of the cooler 800 book titles that are out of print.

I second that, too

You know you've been raytracing too long when...
you ever saw a beautiful scenerey and regretted not to take your 6"
reflective ball and a digital camera, thinking "this would have been a
perfect light probe"

Blender's internal render engine does have ray-tracing capabilities, however, I don't
think I'd categorize Blender as a ray tracer. Ray tracing is just one part of its
toolset.
A little O.T. from your question... YafRay, an external raytracer, can be
incorporated with Blender as well. I personally prefer to use Blender's internal
render engine while working on a scene,
then Blender -> PoseRay -> POV-Ray for final renders.

That's me too, but Wings>PoseRay>PoV-Ray.

That was me too, but I like challenges. I took on the challenge of learning the
Blender user
interface. :-p

Heh, well I like a challenge too! :)
I use Blender when I can, but yes, learning where everything is hidden
in blender is the trick! :oO

First of all, I'd like to thank everybody involved in the new completion for not
letting the idea down.
Concerning the decrease in the number of participants, we simply got older, so
naturally other things took the place of IRTC. Nowadays young people are more
lazy then we used to be, so the number of participants have decreased with
change of generation.

Hmm ... I failed to see the accompanying emoticon so I'm not
sure if that might have been intended as a serious remark ;)
Of course, anyone who is under 20 (even 25?) today grew up
with computers not as scientic instruments or hacker tools,
but as a GUI-driven part of their everyday life style.
