Well I finished the beach pic. This render took 1s to parse and 71h 31m 3s
to render on a PIII-667MHz with 128mb ram.

Changes are, I added dispersion to the glass things although jpeg kills the
pretty colours, the clouds are slightly darker, and that object appeared on
the right. The water doesn't look so good now but that is due to the higher
aa settings I used, +am2 +r2 +a0.0 so that the poles could be seen properly
in the distance.

The scene includes radiosity which seems to work quite well. Everything else
in the scene is the same as before, and it is staying the way it is! :) I
should spend some time on some other scenes. I have a nice idea inspired by
Piet Mondrian to do, (if you hadn't guessed this was inspired by Dali,
surprise surprise). The one thing I do wish to add, and I may do in the
future (distant future mind), is to add some ants crawling from left to
right, disappearing through the letterbox. I'll put a higher quality jpeg on
my website site so that the dispersion can be seen.

Comments and criticisms more than welcome, but don't expect any updates :)

The water is bad in this one, but that was a side effect.

The door is... odd, to say the least. I won't infringe on your artistic
statement, whatever it's supposed to be. It is at any rate nicely detailed.

You changed the aspect ratio. Shame on you. :)

Actually, it was always meant to have this aspect ratio, I just never let it
get to the end of the render before.

Excellent work, if I were you, I wouldn't change a thing!

I really like it, very surrealistic... the door is unnerving, but you get
the feeling the whole scene is bathed in the soft sounds of the wind
blowing, and the ripples lapping against the shore...

If I could make something even half as good, I'd be extremely happy with
myself!

Thanks but I think I'll chop a bit off the bottom of the image before I put
it on my webpage, about where it was in the last wip post.

I added the door to create a bit of uncertainty as the scene seemed very
'cosy' before, it now has a bit of an edge.

Thanks, well I chopped off the bottom 100 pixels before I put it on my

Well, it is intentional now that everyone seems to mention it. In reality I
was rendering it at work over the weekend and ran out of time to code on
friday so decided to start the render. I decided to call it 'Doorway to
Enlightenment' which works well with there being no door knob.
There is now a higher quality render on my webpage, so you can see the
dispersion a bit better.
I shall post the full source code to p.b.s-f for all to use, as it's nearly
christmas :)

This seems to be happening quite a lot to my web site at the moment,
sometimes the pages load sometimes they don't, if they do they sometimes
have the images missing and sometimes they don't load the CSS so they look
very bad. If you click refresh a couple of times it should work. I think I
may have to talk to libertysurf and see what the problem is.

Well I just looked at the site through FTP and it seems that somehow through
the night the index page was changed from my index page to the index page
that libertysurf puts on unbuilt sites. I have no idea why that happened,
maybe I should check with them.
