The issue of Animation Magazine with Toy Story on the cover mentions
povray.
While flipping through it, I saw the word "povray" and so bought the
magazine.
I have just now told yall more about povray than the article did.
I was hoping that someone was commercially producing character animation
using povray, but was mistaken.

Thanks for posting the information here, Greg.

It's rare to find even a mention of POV-Ray in any magazine. I'll probably
look for this magazine anyway :)

For me, it was the UK's Computer Arts magazine. Someone had submitted to their
readers' art section some boring renderings-- but the caption said it was made
with a freeware raytracer called povray! I had wasted manmonths of my life
trying to make anything beautiful or useful using Corel products...........

I once saw a whole two-page article on Povray just when V3 came out.
I think it was in one of the Ziff-Davies magazines, bought in Britain.

For the record, an Italian magazine called Computer grafica ran a whole story
about POV in 1997 with lots of praise and tutorials (and uncredited pictures,
hmm). A French magazine (InfoPC ?) did a short but very positive review of POV
3.0 when it was out, and gave it a 5 stars rating.

PC-Actual did 6 page article on POV and include files (mostly the great
Colefax suite of includes) in April, 98. Too bad I don't know spanish, so I
can't read the article. (But they mentioned my lens flare and were nice
enough to send me a copy of the magazine.)

The PcMania Magazine frequently publishes articles on Pov-Ray in Spanish. In
the version Web of the magazine some articles can be seen. For example the
following connections are of articles of Nathan Kopp:

I seem to remember giving my consent (by email) for this, although
unfortunately I never received a copy of the printed magazine. I also
consented to appear (along with Gilles) in the UK PC Review - once
again, I've no idea what actually got printed, if anything!
I do, however, have some pages from the French Pixel magazine (sent by
Luc Danneel in Nice) which favourably compare POV (used with Dave
Govoni's particle system and my Object Exploder) with Lightwave and
other renderers. And ironically I first discovered POV-Ray (version
2.2) on the cover of PC-Format (which, as the POV-Ray docs point out,
was in flagrant violation of the POV distribution license granted by the
POV-Team, and which led to a complete ban on Future Publishing
distributing POV-Ray in any way...oh well!).

I found the PC-Mania magazine online at:
http://www.canaldinamic.es/cgi-bin/p/dos.cgi?home
in particular is:
http://www.canaldinamic.es/PCMANIA/PC080/RE/pc080rerende0000.html
and also there was the Genesis Toolkit in there somewhere too.
Hey, online magazines with the Persistence of Vision Ray-Tracer in them
might be something to look into as a source of info after all, I just never
thought any publications had been writing anything much.
Thanks for letting me know guys.
Bob

Of course it probably doesn't help when the POV legal doc specifically
bans a whole publishing house from distributing POV.

You're probably right, Scott, but I don't think it's asking too much
to distribute the POV-Ray package intact, including docs and scene
files. Obviously, Future Publishing didn't help Chris Young and the
POV-Team with the support questions from the poor folks who couldn't
figure out how to use POV-Ray without the documentation.

Oh, I totally agree, and I don't know all the details (only what's in
the POV legal doc), but, as Future are one of the biggest publishing houses
over here and produce some of the best selling computer magazines in the UK,
you've got to ask yourself just how many potential POV users in the UK have
never even heard of it because of this. I guess we'll never know the answer
to that one.

Actually I'd say that Future were probably very helpful with those that
got in touch with them directly - they're pretty good on that front, from
what I can tell (no first hand experience, though). But, I can imagine all
the extra work it would have generated for Chris.
Also - I first came across POV on the cover of PC-Format and I don't
recall having any problems using it - from memory, no it wasn't a complete
distribution, but there was enough there to get going and, IIRC, they ran a
POV workshop/tutorial thing around the same time.
