A quick preview render of a diamond. Major change: conserve_energy added to
prevent it becoming too bright.

Forgot to turn on aa but I don't want to wait for another render. I've
uploaded the scene if anyone has cpu to spare on the hq version.
Some stats:

Max level 11/11

Number of photons shot:    1700488
Number of photons stored:  16787408
Priority queue insert:     74077406
Priority queue remove:     31574428
Gather function called:    796316
Gather radius expanded:    426477

Peak memory used: 336070926

Time For parse:  0 hours  0 minutes   8.0 seconds (8 seconds)
Time For Photon: 7 hours 33 minutes  51.0 seconds (27231 seconds)
Time For Trace:  1 hours  6 minutes  53.0 seconds (4013 seconds)
    Total Time:  8 hours 40 minutes  52.0 seconds (31252 seconds)

Much better! It looks very real. Now if only I can model that ring...

Wow! This looks real! And very nice too!

Brilliant!

Nice diamond... :-)
7 and a half hours just for the photon calculations though?!  And there's not
much of them to see either.  I'll have to get your file and have a look for
myself but seems to be the extravagant amount of memory it used.  Must've been
swapping to disk a lot if you had 256MB RAM or less, which is all I have.

Really nice!!

Are you sure you need this big amount of photon 1,700,000!!
Very big no?

Fabian.

Thank you everyone!

Hm. Very probably overkill. I did that to get sharp edges on the reflective
caustics. The diamond is appr. 2 units wide and to get a decent photon
resolution on the surface I thought spacing 0.02 would be nice. In the scene
I uploaded I used spacing 0.01 which is very very probably overkill :) 

Suggestion for photons: what if you could set refractive and reflective
spacing independently? I don't need all those photons for refraction but
from what I've tried here I seem to need'em for reflection.

Various optimizations left me with this one. Much nicer photon settings, but
a tad blurry reflection :|

Max level 10/120 
Number of photons shot: 1844531
Time for Photon: 1 h 21 min
Time for Trace 1 h 24 min
Peak memory used 119491462

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 ;)
