I was just sat here pondering an idea. Has anyone ever organised a
raytracing version of a lan party?
As each person arrives they are given a number and allocated somewhere to
set up. Once the competition is about to begin teams are selected at random
from the numbers they were given.
The subject is then announced and the teams have a certain amount of time to
come up with the best scene they can based around the subject.
At the end of the time limit an indipendent panel of judges decides on the
top 3 scenes, and prizes are awarded accordingly.
Just a thought
:)
Dave.

yeah ... sounds nice ...
I would be in ... but I still believe,
that it would be hard, to find a good
location, where all the POVers can be
able to come to ... So , where is the
problem,making this an online contest ?
I think, that this gathering wouldn't
bring all the interested people toge-
ther.

What a great idea, we could call it the Internet Raytracing Competition
(IRTC for short) ;)

When I first read the subject I was thinking you were going to suggest
everyone brings there computer and set up a small render farm. Then we watch
line by line as a high radiosity, photon usin', focal blurred, isosurface
ridden picture gets rendered :)

Which part of "Once the competition is about to begin teams are selected
at random from the numbers they were given" didn't you understand ?

I once tried to but the immigration authorities spoiled the party just
when it was getting interesting (i.e. rendering reached the relevant
part of the pictures). What we hadn't thought of was that contestants'
travel permits were for one month only :(

I would be fascinated to watch that :-)

The spread of people using POV is something that did not cross my mind when
I first thought up the idea. And imigration was something else I never even
considered. It is amazing how a news group can make you feel all so close
when in reality people are spread far and wide.
What Apache earlier on in this thread may be worth considering though, have
a version of the IRTC for POV-Ray users only. I know the the majority of
users that enter the IRTC do use POV-Ray but it is also open to other
renderers such as 3DS Max. I dont know how much interest there would be in
something like this, or whether we could make it different enough from the
IRTC to gain some interest.
I have some web design experience and could possibly get some nice web space
for such a project. It all depends on the demand for such a thing.
Thoughts and comments please.
Dave.

I'd definetely be interested, but for the competition to be really worth
the amount of work some people would have to put into it, there
should be a better feedback. I don't mean viewers to entrants,
but entrants to interested. I find many POV-entries lack a good
description of what's done, and how its done. Best example is
John VanSickle's Rusty. You always get the same text:
Slapped some code together, like I always do.
I mean, who can learn from that? I do think he does a great job, and
I do know that when submitting something to the IRTC, you've mostly
got not enough time left to actually write everything you did.
That's why I'd say that winners would have to write something
like a "making-of". Its the only way one can learn from others,
especially ones that have done better in the competition.
And then I'd say there had to be a "special issues" selection, where
the competition gathers, from winners images, how clouds are done
fast and good-looking, how the lighting is made to look near-realistic
and stuff like that. Just using the competition as a database, you know?
And perhaps a little more "linkability". Like, when you look at the
images of the winners, you have a link to their homepage to click on,
so that you don't have to download the scene-description and look,
if he has one at all.
Just some thoughts, there's a lot more I could think about, but I think
you're getting the idea of what I'm after.

Yes, I do it with my brother every now and then... unfortunately, he's still
17 years old, and his math abilities are still not very powerful for what he
wants to do, generally. So sometimes we agree that I'm not allowed to use a
modeller, whereas he is.
We have had plenty of fun competing with POV.

He's still 17 years old??? That sounds like he hasn't had the guts to grow
older... He he he... I really meant: "he's only 17 years old"... he he he...
