|     Why the sigh?
|
|     The thing about raytracing cartoons (for those who have never see
| Animaniacs) is that since realism with human figures just isn't here ("here"
| being the free raytracing crowd), and raytraced non-realistic figures don't
| usually look right, raytraced comics fills the gap. For some reason when the
| viewer sees the black line around the figure, all sorts of oddities can be
| easily accepted. Forgiveness just blossoms...
|
|     So having done that (gained artistic forgiveness), one can make animated
| figures that can be reused and reposed and developed into real animations in
| 3d environments with real stories...

Well okay, but I still think a scan-line renderer would be more appropriate  :-)
