Whats with idiots comparing these renderings visually with the kind posted on CGTALK? Surely the mayor difference is that most people who post at cgtalk are primarily artists who use reasonably simple visual tools with nice interfaces and tool palettes to create their art. Where as POVray seems to be based on coding in a lot of the geometry, lights, textures, camera, etc.
Im sure alot of these renderings are very much equal in effort to the links referenced.
