Well I finally gave in and added a light source to this image. I tried for
about a week to render this using high quality settings but everything I
tried made the artefacts worse. At an error_bound of 0.08 it starts to look
extremely mottled, though the artefacts are definitely smaller. I could
probably get rid of them completely by taking the error_bound below 0.01 and
if I didn't mind spending a month rendering the sucker. I think I might make
a poster out of this version though. The original was rendered at 1280x1024.
