Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit As some of you may know, Matt Kruse ran a very successful raytracing competition last year, with many excellent pictures submitted. We are now continuing where he left off. The IRTC (Internet Raytracing Competition) is a competition held every two months open to all 3D rendering computer artists on any platform and software. All you need to do is create an original work on the current topic and ftp it to the submission site. Your work will be made available for people to vote on, and will be included in a CD-ROM of all entries produced at the years end. We welcome any entries of any standard. This is a chance to have your work displayed with some of the best 3D computer art around, and to get constructive criticism from some of the best artists. Good Luck! Interested? Please read more at the official IRTC Web page: http://www.povray.org/irtc Information is also available at the ftp-site: ftp.povray.org:/pub/irtc. Topic ----- Current topic: TIME Deadline: 1-Jul-96 This topic might include clocks, watches, the passage of time, time travel, and so on.
