If you feel that POV rendering gives too many degrees of freedom, why not
define MOTM as L3LAB, Ortographic, renderings. Then there's no discussion of
landscape, sky, Anton Raves' parts, etc. etc.

L3LAB rendering also shows the construction of the model better than POV.

I don't think there's any need for camera restrictions in this case, let the
builder select his favourite view(s) (of course, this makes it possible to
only build half models, but we do that for real too, right?).

I thought about mandating one specific program but then I realized that this may
limit the submissions from those who are unwilling/unable to install the
specified program on their machine.  This is why I liked Larry's idea to submit
the DAT code instead and to have the contest coordinator do the renders.  This
way, if the contest coordinator wanted to render all the submissions in full
radiosity with LGEO and LUGNET's color includes, it would be allowed.  I want
uniformity of look not restiction to one specific program.
I also think it would be neat if each month's contest showcased a different
rendering program.
