   "Of little or no value" ~ made up of four words. A good subject for the 
IRTC, yes?

      Well, maybe... One day.   ;)

That was my first reaction too, Steve, but then I realized that a 
masterful texturing scene would still make a strong entry.

Also, to get an organic shape, use a mesh modeller then export the 
vertex info to generate splines, or locate spheres, or in some other way.

Also, a scene can be laid out in Wings, and again, the locations 
retrieved manually from the Wings display, you know, mid point of a 
face, whatever.

Also recognize that cylinders and cones need not be transformed.  They 
can be defined with their endpoints hard-coded in space.

Anyway, the !-a-checkered-plane topic would be my second choice.  If 
someone would PulEEZe tell me if it means...

a) the specific negation of "plane" and "checkered" concepts or...

b) a clever way of saying: the topic is completely open, just don't put 
a tiled floor or similar in the scene.

T - this
I - is
N - not
A - a
Che - checkered
P - plane

"this is not a checkered plane"

relates too the raytracing penchant for using checkered planes
as a setting for display of modelled objects.  It is thought of
as neutral, and possibly a scaling device.  So the topic suggestion 
might be thought of as a plea for artists to get as far away as
possible from this particular crutch?

also to the POV community's tradition of contributors
to p.b.images first posting a
scene of a reflective sphere over a checkered plane as a
kind of rite if passage, mild hazing, or social protocol
before going on to post other scenes.  Over the years
these first posts have shown a lot of inventiveness so the
topic maybe in part the idea of preserving the spirit of inventiveness
without the traditional form, or somehow inversing the
traditional restriction?

Hello here. Back again (just waking up and see last night's posts).

The TINA CheP seems to produce a general interest and has already a few
votes. I had a vote for 'the other side'. Maybe the whole could be mixed up
in: "reverse world".

I'd like the following question to be answered: POV-SDL only or shall we
leave it free?

I'd say: Let the POVers write a single and stand-alone scene file, and non
POVers do as they want provided it is also a single and standalone model.

I'll try to make a summary of proposals so far (let we wake up completely
....), but contributions are also welcome for this. All suggestions for
theme and rules still open. We have a little time until the dead-line (next
midnight, french time). See you in a few.

      I fear you may well soon see via Poser....  (My idea, My idea! *Raises 
hand*)  ;)

Wow! Things are going fast here! I have not even read all the posts since I 
cloed up last night!

About Tina Chep (yes, nice name for a Poser figure!!!) which I proposed 
foolishly :-)

idea ("Ceci n'est pas une pipe") to something without checkered planes, but 
where the *idea* of it is persistently present somehow. I leave this to the 
creativity of each and everyone.

Let us, on behalf of the POV and Raytracing community, officially declare
the birth of the (gorgeous I hope) TINA CheP! May all the Raytracing good
fairies give her the best gifts. Perhaps modeling Tina will be the subject
of another and parallel competition, or the result of a collaborative work!

Welcome among us, Tina ...
