POV-Ray Short Code Animation Winners 80
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."

Sorry, some robots are filtered from this site.
You are using Wget/1.10.2
This filtering is not intended to restrict your enjoyment of this site. There is a very large amount of data contained

Anyway, here's the winning result:

Oh, and these renders might be prettier, but these are still just input files for a huge raytracer, so IMO, there's nothing really to cheer about. Make a 'tracer in 512 bytes, then I'll be impressed
And yes, this post is really inflammatory, get off my lawn, you insensitive clod, etc. etc.

Couldn't find the 15B one, so here's a one-byte bigger thing: fr-016: bytes/Farbrausch [pouet.net].
I remember doing school stuff in POV-Ray, simple things like cubes, spheres, intersecting cones and whatnot for my math geometry/stereometry classes. While not having heaps of experience like these guys, i think i can safely assume that, while requiring creativity and effort, these aren't truly that hard to make, since this is mostly 3d math, fractals and quadrics sprinkled a bit with randomness on the top. But i guess i just get my boner from creative software hacks (which, in turn, are too 3d/2d math, just hacked up beyond all recognition), not scripts. Oh well, different fetishes

Taking advantage of CoralCDN is simple. Just append
I'm going to forgo posting with mod points and actually post a meassge, the reason the first poster did not get modded up was because he posted AC and only posted the solution, whereas xaxa posted the solution, the author and the reason why mirroring the website wouldn't work.
