Hi All
How about an annual festival of pov where all pov artists contribute their
best pic of the year and then advertise this widely in the graphics
newsgroups.
All the best

Nice idea. Although, as far as figuring out what my "best" POV-Ray
render is from the past year, that would be a triumph in itself, mostly
because there's rarely a finished image but a lot so because I can't
tell what's good. The bad ones are easy, so maybe a Best and Worst of
'99 might help decide. Just have to have both to participate. What say
of that?
Would there be a vote as in IRTC or similar?

First - I'm all for promoting Pov-Ray and the artist inside all of us.
After seeing five replies which were for the most part positive I have
not seen anyone bring up a few important questions in regard to the content
of the posted message.
>>> How about an annual festival of pov where all pov artists contribute
1.) Who is going to manage and coordinate this festive ocassion ?
Someone should form a comittee to hold discussions on this issue.
Where this committee feels specific actions should be taken they
then can choose to splinter into seperate areas of concern and
form subcommities to further the dicussions toward deciding a
reasonable action for the area of concern in question.
2.) Where will the artwork be displayed and if the intention was to
post it here is the newsgroup administator going to be happy with
the extra file load ?
3.) Additionaly there was mention of advertizing the exsistence of this
contest to the outside graphics community. If the art were presented
here there is a good chance that there would be a large increase of
traffic that would be on a level not normaly seen on this server. I
ask again is this something the newsgroup administrator would like
on his nice, quite, cozy, and private little server ? How do you feel
about the possibility of added non Pov related traffic in your
groups ? Do you really want to invite that kind of crowd ?
I like to know about these sticky little details before my enthusiasm
gets the better of me and thought I would at least raise these issues
before anything concrete comes from it.
Cherio,

Nah... this is a festival, to celebrate the joy of POVing... why turn it into a
competition?
However, I'd like a "Worst image" category, as long as no "best images"
accidently got stuck in there :)

How about the POV-Fest Team? You definitely have to be a member, Mr. Tyler. (=

It could be established at Xoom homepages, linked to from
http://surf.to/POVFestXX, where XX represents the year.

Hi
One very simple solution to the organization problem would be to replace,
say, the December round of the IRTC comp with the festival.

Definitely ! Joy and pleasure

I do agree about categorizing the images, proposed categories
Light (doesn't mean you compete for the best lighting, but that you are
particularly happy with the light of your image, regardless of the subject
of the image)
Texture (these two categories (Light and Texture) are for images showing
technical skills)
Photorealism (with some sub categories : Lanscape, Building, ... object (for
the rest))
Surrealism
Alien landscape
Mathematics (scene with mathematical objects (mostly) and consideration
(symmetries, homothetical objects...), but no bezier patch
Worst image (all subjects together)
and others (has to be decided)
For me the keyword is : *NO COMPETITION* (so that I won't lose, some could
say !), the point is that I don't want to work harder and harder on an image
in the hope to be # 1, but I would like to share the joy I feel when I get
an image that is made of 80% what-I-wanted-it-to-be and 20% Kind-of-magic
and the result is 200% more exciting that what I have planned the image to
be. Well, may be the keyword is *share*.

Except IRTC is for everything, and the POV-fest should be limited to POV
(of course). Overall, I think it's a great idea (if implemented as a
web page). Now we just need somebody to run it and to donate the server
space/bandwidth.

No objections, although damned if I know what to contribute. 99% of my
images are just tests of some idea. Haven't had a finished product for
ages...

Makes three of us so far as I count it here. Thinking what I'm thinking?
If categories arise, "Unfinished Works" would make a good one (Works
because, darn it all if it ain't those unfinished ones that are the most
work).

SERVER SPACE/ BANDWIDTH: Wouldn't some group like Geocities or Xoom love to
have extra hits to their sites, especially if we allow their banner ads?
What's the harm, really of a 468 x 60 atop each page? No popups, please,
though!
CONTEST: Why not several indices? One by country, another by genre, another
by name, another by some kind of voting? Those not caring about "the
competition" can just ignore that index!

The only problem for me is that I already posted my best images in PBI :-)
Anyway I'd love to make a new image. Maybe my first really completed image.
And don't forget the promise I made last newyear: to make a nice y2k-image
to wish you a happy newyear! (Hope it get to it this year :-)

Actually I prefer popups. There are several freeware popup killers
availiable, but those image bars are unstopable.

Turn off Java and you've turned off those popups. And all is well, unless
somaebody considers it cool to have the page so thoroughly Java-"enhanced"
that browsing is impossible without it.
Java off, images off - that's the way I like to surf.

hehe, my page will leave you in the darkness (hehe) if you don't have JavaScript
on... I'm looking into a update without any JavaScript at all, but with
server-side-includes, but I have yet to remake all the sub-menus.. *sheesh*
and I don't have _that_ much time....

Uh, yeah, better than "hope" would be a good idea. Oh, wait, I forgot
about the Y2K controversy of what year *is* Y2K really --- no... no, I
didn't say that, strike it from the record!

Actually, no.
Those pop-ups are not Java, they are Javascript. A completely different
animal, and also a different options setting.

My mistake. Well, in NS I can turn off both. But not in IE, if I'm not
mistaken.

Sounds like a good idea. I've only completed one image in the
last 12 months, but do hope to complete another this week. My
best and worst.
No competition! Just for fun/laughs.

I think you are.
I have JavaScript set to "prompt", but disable is an option. It's set in the
security zones.
