This is a scene I made a while back when I was just playing around. 
There are 44301 bubbles in this picture (it takes a lot to fill all the 
way back, and you can still see in the corners where it didn't quite go 
back far enough) I rendered this on a P3-866, so it took a while :P

I would greatly appreciate any comments.

Very nice - looks like pieces of foam rubber that have sunk to the bottom of
my swimming pool.

Or, to think of it, something that lays on the bottom of a trash compactor
on the Deathstar ;) - all that is needed is some water and a Dianoga and
you've got a nice SF scene!

At first I thought this was a photo of some stones from the beach! Then I
realised it was all perfect spheres and they are overlapping each other. And
maybe the dark spots don't really come from dirt, as I originally imagined,
but from the sky? Anyway, there is something photo-realistic about it.

Hugo

Very nice.

Looks like you have either radiosity or area lights in there, so I can 
imagine this was not fast at all... neat effect though.

Andrew @ home.

PS. Is it ment to be half black? Or is that max_trace set too low?

It's meant to be like that. For this one I uploaded it to a friends 
server and ran it on there, I don't think he ever found out that I did 
maybe 15-20 pictures on there :-D Anyone with that much hardware (Dual 
Xeons and 2 Gigs of RAM) who doesn't use it at all (it serves IRC for 
like 10 people) deserves that :P
