I try to keep quiet when povray is
mentioned, but someone invoked my name.
Not me. Arthur Ransome says of sailors:
"Better drowned than duffers if not duffers wont drown"
But I don't think that applies here.
Anyway, George Michaelson said:

This, as bwk used to say, is vacuous.
At least my content is consistently awful. I aim for a shorter
encoding in killfiles.
Povray is an abomination -- the perfect
rejoinder to The Cathedral And The Bazaar.
Radiance is a work of art. Neither can
handle scenes of any complexity, and neither
is fast enough for serious animation. (Before
I don't think radiance *seeks* to be a viable animation engine.
And that it both renders works of art, and is one, seems a nice
convergeance of desire and reality.
