A simple isosurface microphone thing with radiosity and focal blur. Render time
86 hour.

You know you've been raytracing too long when your
*simple* things render in 86 hours.

My computer goes slowly, and my knowledge is not enough... yet :-)

Congrats on the beautiful wire mesh; looks just like the real thing.

If that is the case I can't wait to see what you can do when you master the 
program. This is impressive as it is.

And more congratulations for not overdoing the focal blur !!!!!!!

Not bad (well, the render time *is* :))

But the real things have a slightly different mesh: Instead of one direction
converging at the poles, it is centered around a different axis. If you know
what I mean. So when seen from the top, it looks like a (more or less) perfect
square grid.

Why not use sphere sweeps? I fancy they'd be faster.

That is a beautiful render, technically clever, and impressive in its 
execution.  Images related to sound, of a sound detection device lets 
say, can open up subtle conceptual possibities.

You know you haven't been raytracing enough, when your simple things
take 86 hours to render ;p.

Yes, now that you mention it, I think you're right. I wonder how they form the
wire mesh into a ball (or hemisphere, as the case may be, which is probably
easier) without a visible 'pole' showing? If just a hemisphere, I guess you
could simply press the pre-made mesh into a bowl-shaped form or mold, and
accept the slight distortion (?)
