side-by-side to show a sequence of events or to add text to an image. And many
other possibilities - some of which you will gain a lot of useful information
from and some you may even be offended by. But you get to have your say about

discussion. In fact this makes it possible to talk about more complex technical

competition becomes very inbred. You will very quickly find yourself as a
technological hermit. There are methodologies that are applicable to POV-Ray
that are not permitted. Do you care about that? Where do you want to be

have a reason to make a picture or an animation then what point is the

be a shame to restrict that.
