Thanks Phil. I understand now, so I will unsubscribe to that one.
I've now downloaded Pov-ray, and I am slowly picking my way through it.
It's not something that I am used to at all, but I can see that 3/5 years
down the line that people will become proficient at it, or less time maybe.
Having looked at the entrants to the competition, I am even more
interested in it. I usually mess around with PS 5, and come up with some
quite good pics, but this Pov-ray is a whole new ball game!
A couple of quick questions if I may, Phil. I have an error at the start
of the help section. All of the help is there, it's just that when I go to
the next stages, this error message always pops up, do I go back to the
Pov-ray website, and e-mail them about it?
Lastly, and this no slur on the team at Pov-ray,(I'm sure they do a great
job), do you think that the prizes for the competition could be up-graded so
as to attract more entrants? I'm just thinking that there are, say for
example, surfing competitions that pay out quite a lot of money to the
winner. It just seems that a lot of work goes into these images, ref: the
pearl harbour one, that must have taken ages.(It's brilliant as well!)
Just a thought.
