Well, yeah.  But it wasn't a serious attempt.  It came out nice enough for a
quickly thrown together thing.

Only used 20,000 photons, which isn't near enough for the size of the water
plane.  There's a lot of speckling.  What type of statistics did you want?

Yep.  Haven't started the retexturing work yet.  There is a 'water line',
but it's up higher, because it was for the mist rather than the water. 
Looks a little strange in this instance.

When talking about the glow, did you mean the light from it, or the glows
themselves?  The glows themselves aren't too bad, IMO, though they cast
perhaps too much light (you can still see their vague shadows), although,
depending on what he's throwing, that may be accurate.
