June 30th is almost here and I'd like to have an idea of the next topic ASAP
to see if I manage to participate this time. :-)

Anyone?

Flying pigs

Notes: pigs that can fly, winged swine, Porco Rosso, Wonder Warthog, piglet
cherubs, goggled hogs, snouty aviators, corkscrew-tailed airmen,
lighter-than-air frankfurters, dirigible salamis, porky aces. It's a bird,
it's a plane, it's SuperPig!

The FTP site seems to have been updated... the *new* topic is "Epic
Proportions" again, but this time with a 31st August deadline:

Looks like we'll have to wait a little longer to find out what the topic
*really* is.

Dessert


Notes:

Desserts, pastries, and sweets of all sorts. Icecream sandwiches, apple pie,
plum pudding, or just cake and frosting. Anything that tastes like "dessert"
in your mind.

The July-August 2004 stills round deadline is in 57 days, 58 minutes, and 32
seconds at the time this page was loaded.

I wonder... can you make a dessert based on flying pigs? ;-)

Are you joking? I cannot tell. from http://www.irtc.org/stills/curtopic.html
it says:

Desert


Notes:
Deserted, abandoned, and desolate places of all sorts. Sand, cacti, palm
trees, or just vastness and desolation. Anything that evokes "desert" in
your mind.

i'd just hate to see someone waste 2 months working on the wrong topic.
though whenever i read the word "desert" think of desserts.

so maybe chocolate covered desert pigs?

Anything that evokes "desert" in my mind?

I'm lacking ideas for this topic... perhaps I should render my own mind? :-)

Or perhaps a flying pig with chocolate wings flying close to the sun over a
desert...

"Pigarus"

:-D

Someone might render dunes, sand worms, along with some spice and... uh...
never mind, I've seen that somewhere. :-)

Hmmm, it looks like my mind is not a desert of ideas as I first thought. :-)

Well, you could always take the option of considering Antartica a 
desert, then you could have a polar bear in an antartic snowstorm. :D

That could do well in the "Concept, Originality, Interpretation of Theme"
category since there are no polar bears in Antarctica :-)

Hmm, you're right. "Non-existant polar bear in Antartica"

For the record, I'll stick to my "Pigarus" idea. :-)

   'Desert' also means --  " An apparently lifeless area of water."

   This could be an excellent and interesting round...

Subject: Render Competition at the Forum Navis Romana
Date: 29 Dec 2005 22:30:45
Message: <43b4a9e5@news.povray.org>
Greetings.

We at the non-commercial scientific Forum Navis Romana (maritime 
archaeology) are preparing multiple competitions. Two of these competitions 
might interest you as render artists: the Render Stills competition, and the 
Render 3D Model competition.

But don't hurry at all. Right now, we are still preparing the database 
website for the launch, and around 80% of our contents are stilll not 
available online. This includes the rules for the render competitions.

But if you have an interest to talk about our competitions, please do so. We 
would like to get a first impression which ideas for the competitions might 
come up, we are still open for good ideas. However, the target of the render 
competitions is clearly defined, already.

 The competition entries arer required to contain (to be about) ancient 
ships and of one of these categories:
- Sea Battles
- Harbour Views
- Trade Scenes
- Deck Views
- Historical Maritime Events

Similar to the "Hall of Fame" famous websites such as the POV-Ray website 
have, we will have our "Palace of the Glorious" and the "Arena" in each 
section of our competitions (renaming is still possible but the features 
itself are going to be implemented)

Please use our ´Contact Us´ online form inside the ´.About Us || Contact Us´ 
link section (http://Navis.TerraRomana.org), if you have questions. Or 
communicate using the news groups here. Thanks.

Sincerely,

Sven Littkowski
Forum Navis Romana || Terra Romana

PS: It is the first time I personally add a news to a news group. Hopefully 
I do it right. Advice highly welcome.
