real-time 'software' rendering is not quite dead yet... :) i'm generally of the opinion though that 'we' have lost a lot of knowledge. Yes, that is kind of what I meant. I know there are still people doing software rendering, and I know it's sometimes used to complement GPU based rendering. And there are interesting projects out there. So, not quite dead, and I'm not even going to say yet because I don't think it's dying at all, on the contrary. Still though the "state of art" has by and large ignored software for so many years now, with almost all advances and techniques being primarily done on the GPU (sometimes with help from the CPU). So I totally agree we've lost knowledge. I personally hope to regain that knowledge, maybe come up with something new, perhaps even push some boundaries... but we'll see. :-) Thank you for the link.
