Elsa has drawn a cat. She is now 6 1/2 years old. She begins to understand
english words, and so she can use moray herself  hardly alone.

A lot of good observation going on there!  Especially in the face but 
also things like the shape of the hind legs.  Definitely an interesting 
idea, to get a child to use 3d techniques, since just as in drawing it 
is a matter of applying a formula then enhancing it through observation.

Already better than anything some IRTC entrants have done.

Fantastic, Elsa!
At this rate, she is going to revolutionize the field when she gets older!

Looks like a cat! I agree with Jim on the observation...lots of detail 
in there. Most children that age would be using something closer to two 
spheres with peg-legs and a stick tail.

Interesting...most people would probably spend hours with a patch or 
mesh modeller trying to exactly model (and texture!) an actual cat, and 
end up with something much less recognizable as one. This isn't a 
photorealistic reproduction of a cat...it's just a cat.

OK, you mean to tell me a 6 yr old made an image better than anything 
I've ever made in 3 years of using POV-Ray?

Hmmm... how rubbish am I? :'(

Don't worry, man; you're not alone. I don't think I can make that cat 
either :-) That's why I took the Poser route.

Here's something worse -- a little story to make everybody feel a bit 
better about themselves...

As a scrawny Freshman in High School I decided I would bulk-up by 
joining the Wrestling team. After a few session, I always lost, but I 
was getting better! Then, one day, the coach brought in a 2nd grader and 
called me over so that he can demonstrate that skill beats weight. The 
2nd grader pounced my sorry ass. So, humiliated, confidence down the 
crapper, I dropped out of wrestling and took my beatings like the little 
piss-ant I was :-)

Course, now I'm bulky (not really fat, but just big) -- just waited for 
me to get out of High School I guess, conveniently at the time when 
women started to find /thinny/ guys attractive!

Off-topic, maybe, but who can't use an ego booster here and then? :-)

My impression, too.

Both the cat and the horse were very good.
