You're getting a maximum of 10 ray intersections (if I'm wording that right)
and using 120? Interesting.... Not necessary to do so then.
It looks great so far. Thought about using area lights yet? <ducking for
cover>

Additional photons are stored for deeper trace levels. When refraction
and reflection are involved, you get much more rays than you've asked
for ;)

I just picked a fairly big number and counted on adc bailout. I don't know why
I got only 10 though. For this render I used fade_power 1000 fade_distance 150
so I expected to see much more ray traces.

BOOM! <catchiiing>
Damn, I missed.

I thought about it. Maybe what we can do is once we are all happy with the
diamond, we can setup an area light then whoever is interested can render a
piece of it. The majority of the time will be spent on the render, not the
pre-processing, so the parallelism should save us some time. We could also
be daring and attempt to have more than one diamond. :)
I have two computers at work that can render overnight.

On somewhat the same subject: anyone ever pass around a saved photon map
before? Just curious if that's easy to do, and not only that if there would
be unforeseen problems from one computer to the next.

Ever see the size of those suckers? The last one I did for the diamond was
137MB (about 4 million photons if I remember correctly), although I'm sure
they compress well and it might be worth the time saving if you have a fast
enough connection.

The photon map file from my "Teardrop Prism" image was 220 MB.

You people use far too many photons. j/k! Mine always seem to remain at or
below a million. But then I have yet to do a terrific scene with them either.
