That's exactly what it is.  The rules, as they were originally 
envisioned, were created to restrict it to raytracing, however, rather 
than being a Poser or Photoshop or any-CG-at-all competition.

This isn't a technical POV coding challenge.  It isn't a general POV-Ray 
competition, or even "POV & Friends."

It's raytracing.

As long as the main image creation is done via raytracing, most people 
will overlook a few minor tweaks.  For instance, gamma adjustment is 
usually OK, adjusting color balance on several separate layers in 
Photoshop is probably not.

Likewise, using a program like Moray to model a scene and export it to 
POV is OK; positioning figures in Poser and exporting them to your 
favorite raytracer is OK; rendering a scene using the scanline renderer 
in Blender is not.

Does that help?
