A render experiment with pov 64 for windows. A few
days of render, 2GB of photons. I also have a desktop
size version (1600x1200) just ask if you want it.
Best,

Nice.
On what machine did you render this?

AMD Athlon x64 4000+, nvidia 4 chipset, 2GB of 400MHz DDR
ram. It's my new toy. I've toyed with the setting until I
filled RAM without going too much over.
I think it might be nice if one could parameterize the
number of photons using a target memory capacity instead
of counts or density. Some kind of "shoot me for 1.5GB"
setting.

That's a damn fine machine. I was going to get a 4000+ my self - but it
was, like, 3x the price of most of the rest. :-S
OOC, which OS?

Well, I suppose if you rigure out how much memory 1 photon uses, that
would tell you what "count" setting to use... (You wanna check how much
RAM is *free* when you do this.)

dispersion_samples = *runs away screaming*
No wonder it took a few days...
Looks pretty cool though.

For now, xp x64 pro. Probably won't last. Probably will install
some x64 linux distribution, still haven't decided which. Installing
XP on this box was a quick fix to get it up and working.

No, no, I meant that povray should distribute photons adaptatively on
its own, until it reaches the target memory capacity. As of now,
specifying density is much of guesswork; and count is hard to relate to
density.

dispersion_samples = 75

very nice.
I am interested in your high res version.

Wicked picture but the title make me curious. I understand that plato
refers to the platonic solids ... but why "tyranny"?
