I would like to know if POV is being used in any professional
application or environment; or is it primarily for hobbyists. I would
like to be able to use this experience in applying for a position in the
3d & animation professional world. How is POV viewed by professionals?
What is the career path for such endeavors? What level of proficiency is
needed? What can one expect as compensation?
I am new to 3d modeling and find it interesting a whole lot of fun; but
is this all it is?

1. You could earn money with nothing in your hands and nothing in your head (try
politics for instance) so there's bound to be a way to earn money with POV (see
3).
2. There are lots of commercial packages which sell for high prices. They're
probably used by the professionals. There might be some trade off: a little less
quality or refinement in the images and a lot more speed. For professional
purposes I think POV might be bit too refined.
3. I earn a (modest) living with 3D-images made with POV. I do some programming
along with it. I may not be very good with either of the two, but the
combination of the two (and some other things?) seems to do the trick.
Good luck,
Remco

Hey, I demand a better number 1 statement here. Sounds like you're saying POV-Ray is
for
ventriloquist dummies ;) j/k! I know you aren't saying that, but us dummies get easily
offended.

Um, I'm brunette. That a good excuse? LOL
Btw, isn't it "blonde", not blond? You dum blonds can't spel.
P.S. funny thing, I always thought it had to be 'blonde', however to be sure I ran a
spell checker here and saw a 'blond' listed. Looked it up, found the word I thought as
correct is the feminine form and yours was the general "fair skinned, blue eyed, light
colored hair" form. Which now makes me wonder what I just called myself when I first
replied with this message.
Okay, I looked that up too and now think I need English lessons. Brunet is the
generalized form. I'm so embarrassed (a peculiarly feminine emotion. I know, I
know....
I just wanted to stir up trouble here ;)
Off-topic ramblings, so goodbye.

It's french lessons that you need...
blond (the "d" is silent) is for men and blonde is for women.

So, like what kind of work do you do?
Sell T-shirts or cards with your images? Local web design?
I have been looking for a way to make some cash out of my favorite hobby.

I make "multi-media-productions". I used to be a game-programmer using simple
2D-graphics, but still trying to make things look good. Based on that a company
asked me to make two cdroms with _some_ 3D-stuff on it. Therefor I turned to
POV, an unlikely choice perhaps, but primo: it's free and secundo: I haven't
seen another program yet I think I would like to buy and that will let me make
stuff with such detailed quality.
In the end, almost everything turned out to be 3D. When I look at the things I
made at first it's clear I only made it halfway through the docs. I still
haven't gotten any further but "threedee" seems to be some sort of magic word.
At the moment I'm involved in a series of educational cdroms. I assure you
there's money to be made, but perhaps not by POV alone...
Good luck,
Remco
