Yes, or you wouldn't be reading this.
Anyway, thankyou Mr. (Ms.?) new### [at] DESPAMpovray org! who-ever you are.
I've yet to submit anything to the IRTC, mostly for fear of rejection. Well,
actually it's because I don't know if I ever can do something based upon a
topic or get the submitaal process done right.
Maybe my first will make it there before the 10/31 midnight (minus 1 second)
deadline. Wish me luck, I'll need it.

Hi Bob!
Yes, it finally worked!
So this time I submitted my first rendering to the IRTC.
I was so in fear of not getting finished that I started at the 2nd of
September (after all I have job and a family). The funny thing is that I
was finished at the 6th October (I could have improved it on and on) but
there's a point to say stop!).
If you familiar with the ftp procedure I would suggest this kind of
submisson to you. I think it is more reliable and you can see at once if
your files have arrived and if they have the right size.
I wish you all the luck you need and hope to see your submission there
(mossy rock?)!
Greetings
Marc

It works! Alright!
Like you, I have not yet submitted anything to the IRTC. I really wanted to do
it for this round - I liked the topic and even had some ides for it - but I ran
pitifully short on time an decided not to post any half-hearted attempt. But
next time - if the topic agrees with me - I'm gonna make it in time!
By the way, this newsgoup is a great idea! I'm sure it will encourage many more
people to put their skills to the test at the IRTC.
P.S. Good luck! But you're cutting it awful' tight. Just think how you'd feel if
your HDD crashed on 10/31 at 23:55, just before you had uploaded your entry...
Sorry, wouldn't want to hex you or anything ;)

If you need help figuring out how to submit, or if you have trouble
submitting feel free to contact the IRTC admins, or just me. We really
just want to get as many submissions in as possible. I'm willing to
help out to make sure the image makes it. If you spent hours creating
it, why wouldn't I spend a few minutes helping you get it in?

I agree with Marc in general. ftp is probably the best method. But the
other methods have their charms as well. Here's a pros and cons list:
Method Pros Cons
ftp reliable direct xfer ascii-mode transfer breaks
zip/jpegs
lots of ftp tools up to a 2 hour delay in feedback
drag & drop uploads
web immediate feedback many browsers can't do it
email easy mail can get lost/bounce (3
days!)
potentially longest delay in
feedback
text file must be an attachment
Keep in mind that you should get an email reply back telling you that
your submission was accepted. If you do not, something went wrong.
Contact us!
The hardest thing I face is when I get an image and no email address -
if there's a problem, I can't contact the author to fix it.

Actually my real concern is the accompanying text written about my image and
render process. I tend not to be a great describer I think.
I've uploaded to Aol before and there's practically nothing to that, the
reviewers there even edit your description.
What makes this particular one a lousy candidate for my first irtc submission
is the fact that it is not a plain old render. I used multiple, animated,
renders to make several images then do a multiple image_map-layered texture,
then used the result to render as an image_map once again. To say the least it
is time consuming and guess I'm going to have to leave the result as is, even
though I've seen better during the whole process.
Well, guess if I write this into the description text I'll be all right, you
think? Maybe I'll copy and paste...
; )
Good luck to the rest you povray "stills" people.

Go ahead and enter !! Don't worry about the quality of your entry, it
wont be rejected. You'll find the positive feed back will help you
improve your raytracing skills.
Participation has its own rewards.

Personally I prefer the email-submission. It's easy and fast (just type
the right email address and attach the files and send -> done) and you
also get the response very quickly.
