To see some of the best images ever created with POV-Ray, visit the Hall of Fame. The images are from POV-Ray artists all over the world and range from realistic to abstract. Some of the images have been winners in POVCOMP or the Internet Ray Tracing Competition.

Want to show off your modelling skills ? Or do you just want to see oodles of POV-Ray renderings done by artists of all skill levels - from beginners to gurus ?

In either case, you mustn't miss the Internet Raytracing Competition, over at www.irtc.org. The IRTC is hosted on the same server as our site, and most entrants in the competition do use POV-Ray. Worth a visit !

We also host files from the predecessor of the IRTC, Matt Kruse's Raytracing Competition.
