Here are the last two sets of code I tried. Without photons My renders range
from 4 to 15 minutes. With photons it gets pushed closer to 30 to 50
minutes.
I am sure I could still improve this but I like your results and my use your
code instead.
#macro PSURFACE2(PS,U,V)
#local W = 1 - U - V;
#local u2 = U * U;
#local u3 = u2 * U;
#local v2 = V * V;
#local v3 = v2 * V;
#local w2 = W * W;
#local w3 = w2 * W;
(w3*PS[0] + (3*U*w2)*PS[1] + (3*u2*W)*PS[2] + u3*PS[3] + (3*w2*V)*PS[4]
+ (6*W*U*V)*PS[5] + (3*u2*V)*PS[6] + (3*W*v2)*PS[7] + (3*v2*U)*PS[8] +
v3*PS[9])
