Well I did use variable reflection and the radiosity includes normal and
media clculations, checking the stats I think the main slowness is due to
the camera being inside the bounding box for the isosurface as only 2pc of
the isosurface rays intersection tests actually hit the isosurface, woops,
maybe the containing box needs optimising. Accuracy was set to 0.0001. Oh
well.......

I come to expect render times of 20-30hrs with media and radiosity and
isosurfaces etc,etc. So If you want real quality long render times are the
price you pay.

I use a 800mhz athalon and still get longer times. I lot depends on what
else is running. I usually shut down and restart before starting a long
render.

Reflection, ior and transparency also add enormously to render times.

Looking again at this image I wouldn't say radiosity did it any good, or at
least could probably have been done without for the sake of a speedier
render.
Going to add photons next, Kevin?   j/k!

For some reason it indicates an alien landscape to me. Looks like lots of wind
and extreme temperature, like you would expect on a non-class-M planet.

These mountain/landscape scenes are just getting better and better.

Cheers, you're making me blush. Haven't spoke to you for ages, hope things
are going smoothly.
