I have the impression that some of the gaps observed are - at least in part -
due to people specializing.

We have some people here doing incredible stuff with SDL regarding macro
frameworks.

Others create mind-boggling landscapes.

Yet others do fascinating experiments with abstract stuff and mathematical
formulae (like that freakin' cellular-automaton shell).

Some are experts on global illumination techniques.

Others know everything there is to know about isosurfaces.

Tom places at least one poser figure into every shot he does.

Yet others seem to be experts at modelling and rendering Lego scenes ;)

And so on.

So we not only have gaps between "beginners" and "semi-professionals", but also
between various specialists. And an "all-rounder" might find that wherever he
looks, there's always some specialist who can do better.

For instance, accordig to the last TC-IRTC round I must be doing *something*
right, and playing in one league with Robert McGregor, yet it still feels like
he is quite a deal ahead of me - but maybe that's just because I only see how
good he is at doing water, and fail to notice that my sand isn't bad either ;)
