And it renders fairly quickly - with no AA on my lowly P-III laptop, it
took about 30 minutes at 1400x1050.

Very nice piece of work, going to have fun exploring the 'how it works'
aspect later. :-)

MOST impressive...

You know that "challenge" I "posted" in off-topic? I think you just won
it! ;-)



Now how come when I fiddle with POV-Ray I never accidentally produce
something this cool? Heh. Maybe I don't fiddle for long enough... LOL!

Of course, *with* AA it takes just *slightly* longer to render. ;-)

Now it's running on a Dual Processor HT 2.4 GHz Xeon system (wish there
was a beta of 3.7 for Linux), and after almost 85 hours, it's on line 240
out of 1050.  This was with AA set to a threshold of 0.1, depth 9, and
jitter 1.0.

It looks very good so far.

Yep.

Depth 9? :-0

Uh... yeah, I *bet* it does!

(I've never tried a depth of more than 5 myself... OTOH, never tried
different depths to compare the result either!)

Yeah, I normally don't use anything beyond depth 5 myself, but I thought
I'd see what this "new-to-me" machine could do. :-)

I'll put a copy of it somewhere where it can be pulled if anyone's
interested - when it's done (should be another week or so at this rate <G>)

I thought some might be interested in knowing that this render *finally*
finished (last night around 11 PM local time).  I actually stopped and
restarted a couple of times (system upgrades, actually), but only had
about 3 hours downtime between the start and the end.

The final hour count was 3153 hours (render time of 131 days 9 hours).  I
did try to run it at the highest processor priority (nice level -19) most
of the time, but didn't run it that way continuously.

I'm now rerunning at a depth of 3; after 15 minutes, it's about a quarter
of the way finished.  I'm going to be interested to see if the differences
are visible at all...
