Actually, isn't that sort of the point of the IRTC? To see what other 
people are doing, and learn how they did it?

You know you've been raytracing too long when you think it's a failing 
of the universe that the large software companies like Corel or Fractal 
Design do NOT export to POV primitives.

You *can* see those things, but you'll have to take my word for it. I
don't mean subconsciously, either. A crappy-looking comparison render
render *with* randomly selected letters would plainly show the
difference letter selection makes. Color blending makes as large a
difference. A good percentage of commenters (even those who took nothing
thematically from the image) found the image aesthetically attractive.

IMO, deconstructing my image with comparison renders or code/preudocode
samples would take away from it. However effective the image may or may
not be, I am intent of presenting it at face value.
