Hi all, If you keep an eye on new articles on LDraw.org you may have noticed two new ones with the title RACHAL. Well, we haven't got a replicant working for us but we are relaunching my old raytracing challenges as part of LDraw.org. http://www.ldraw.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=428 A brief description is probably best given by quoting the blurb: "The LDraw Administration Team proudly presents Rachal – The RAytraching CHALlenge to spur people's creativity and show different interpretations of the same source material. Please note that this is not a contest! All entries will be added immediately to a gallery at LDraw.org to be shown but not voted. We also plan to run this challenge quarterly." Any questions about the challenge should be directed to this thread and submissions should be made according to the guidelines on the above-linked page and at http://www.ldraw.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=189#rachal All entries will be posted at http://www.ldraw.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=429 along with links to the files. We hope you enjoy RACHAL. Thanks, Tim Gould (on behalf of the LDraw webmasters)
