POV-Ray Short Code Animation Winners

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the 512-bytes-is-plenty dept.

Paul Bourke writes "Every year the POVRay rendering community run a short code competition. The challenge is create an image using a limited number of bytes, normally just 256. This year the competition required the artist to create an animation rather than just an image. The winning entries are now online where you can see what can be created for a meager 512 bytes."

  1. 512B pov-ray? Screw that! by Xtense · · Score: 5, Insightful

    POV-Ray? Screw that, see what can be made in a 256B EXECUTABLE. Just to give some popular examples, tube/3SC, PHOBIA/ind. Yup, the demoscene was there a long time before, and still it churns out some beautiful code that boggles the mind. Nothing impressive to see here though, just a fat-ass raytracer with a small input file.
