A loose *intersection* of "Euclidian" solid objects
from traditional planar geometry and the objects of POV
syntax.
Box, Cone, Cylinder, Sphere, Torus, Plane
Either limit the scene to a subset of these
or
to a choice of ONE of these
Based on the docs:
*Solid Finite Primitives*
There are fourteen different
solid finite primitive shapes:
No blob
*Yes box*
*Yes cone*
*Yes cylinder*
No height field
No Julia fractal
No lathe
No prism
*Yes sphere*
No spheresweep
No superellipsoid
No surface of revolution
No text object
*Yes torus*
*Finite Patch Primitives*
There are six totally thin, finite
objects which have no well-defined inside.
No bicubic patch
No disc
No smooth triangle
No triangle
No polygon
No mesh / mesh2
*Infinite Solid Primitives*
There are five polynomial primitive shapes
that are possibly infinite and do not
respond to automatic bounding.
*Yes plane*
No cubic
No poly
No quadric
No quartic
*Parametric Object*
Where the isosurface object uses implicit surface functions, F(x,y,z)=0,
the parametric object is a set of equations for a surface expressed in
the form of the parameters that locate points on the surface, x(u,v),
y(u,v), z(u,v). Each pair of values for u and v gives a single point
<x,y,z> in 3d space
No Parametric Object
*Isosurface Object*
No Isosurface object

Yep, I think I'll go with TINA CheP too. And although Kyles' 'Optimism'
topic is really good, (there's a lot you can do with this subject), I think
there isn't enough time to do something worthwhile. IF the IRTC gets up and
running again soonish, I'd like to try this topic sometime.

Ideas:
- alien flower
- splash!
- The Holly Grail
- loss of control (maybe too general for our concern)
- message in the bottle

topic I suggest:
- IRTC in Hibernation
- Sleep of the IRTC
- Death of the IRTC?
Or just
- New IRTC
Just My 2 cent :)

I'd just like to chime in and lend my support for the idea of a "primitive"
themed competition. As many people have already mentioned, there isn't
much time left between now and the end of February, so a simple topic
might do nicely.
I am especially drawn to the idea of each artist being forced to choose and
work with just one primitive, and nothing else.
Such primitives being limited to:
* Box
* Sphere
* Cylinder
* Cone (which could be used to produce cylinders, I suppose :)
* Torus
As has also been mentioned, the restrictive nature of this theme could
produce some very interesting results as artists try to overcome this
restrictiveness through their own creativity.
I am curious though, who would we submit our images to in the increasingly
likely event that the IRTC is still not responding by the end of February?
Perhaps we could set up a Wikipedia page to use for the short term?
Cheers,
-Isaac K

A mix of what has been said so far might be:
Topic: "This Is Not A Checkered Plane", using only basic POV-SDL primitives,
in a single scene file.
Discussion still open until tomorrow midnight, french time.
Bruno
PS: It's over 0:30 now. See you in a few hours.

I chose that because everyone has their favourite tools - and maybe fairly
easy to do as a subject for the short time that we have.

Which is why I chose it. I've never even attempted it, so it would be a
challenge for me (even using Wings), but it would have been interesting to
see what came up.

LOL! :o)

I'm quite liking this one. If I can do it, I have a nice image in my
mind for this.
Nothing dark, just 'different'.
Nice topic Bruno.

I can't do PoV prims. Or rather, I can, but I can't translate them. It
does my head in bigtime. I remember 60 - 70 moves just to get a box or
sphere where I wanted it to be.
If we go down the pure-pov route, then I will still enter using Wings.
It'll be just for the fun of it though, so disregard my attempt in any final
submission that I may make.
