This is the last block of the image busy rendering and is taking
forever. At this moment 4.5 hours at 155 PPM. Is there a way to speed
things up? I guess not, as I can imagine what takes so long: a
transparent, double-sided object, hair object with transparent layer, media.
Using Uberpov with w1600 +h1200 +am3 +a0.01 +ac0.9 +r4
From previous days part rendering I suspect that even after 10 hours
this will not be finished...

A change in Render_Block_Size might help if you can chance stopping it
again.

That's an idea. Stopping is not a problem (nor starting up again). It
might indeed distribute the calculations more efficiently over the threads.

You kids and your imaptience. Just wait a week. It should be done by then.
That's what we did back in the day, and we liked it!

Yup. We were absolutely thrilled by the fact that we were unable to use
the computer for anything else while the raytracer was running. And we
greeted every new pixel with a loud cheer!

It was therapeutic watching that line of pixels being drawn across the
screen.

I had Fractint on an "Intel inside" Win 95 m/c
Then the Stone Soup Group mentioned PovRay.
Lost, lost, my life in tatters waiting for the next rendering. :-)

lol, I remember watching TEXT getting written across the (television) screen of
my VIC-20 as characters were being downloaded over a 300 baud modem from a BBS.
It was so slow that they used to have animations based on control-chracters.

Yes, it was just a tad less boring than watching paint dry.

I had the pleasure (?) of discovering a can of the really good methylene
chloride / dichloromethane paint stripper for a job I was doing. It was fun to
watch that stuff sink right into the several layers of paint - some of which
surely must have been old lead carbonate / linseed oil - and watching it swell
and crinkle up like a prune. You just about wipe it off after that with a paper
towel.
A different job - we had to use "BIN" to prime some places that had the sap from
pine knots bleeding through, old cigarette tar or kitchen grease, or mold - and
the primary cosolvent used in that is ethanol. Painting with that inside for
several hours is ... interesting.

You're starting to remind me of my high-speed Internet connection. Well, the
ISP sez that it's high speed. I'm getting less than 2% of the advertized speed.

I had some exposure to trichloroethylene while repairing an old car (2CV
to be precise)...
