Ruffled Feathers 101: Lesson Two.....

fighting talk? What, we're in a Jihad?

Seriously, tho, POV has a *LOT* of shortcomings, but, hey!, it's free,
developed on a voluntary base, comes with source...

IT DOESN'T HAVE SUBSURFACE-SCATTERING!!! IT DOESN'T SUPPORT THE METROPOLIS
LIGHT TRANSPORT!! IT'S NOT SPECTRAL BASED!!! IT DOESN'T DO SKYDOMES!!!
I WANT BSSRDF! I WANT METROPOLIS! I WANT SPECTRAL! I WANT REAL MOTION BLUR!
I WANT PHISICALLY CORRECT DYNAMICS! CLOTH! FLUIDS!

Now, *that* is fighting talk :)
