Couldn't resist another try with this idea and finaly got the colours
I wanted altho' jpeg hasn't been kind. Reflection too high which
washed-out some colours but I'm not playing anymore ;-)

Dropped the y-plane to lose shadow so could remove the large area
lights, dumped MPov+photons for Pov3.1g, swapped blob for 400 spheres
and got render time down to 18hrs (+a0.1) from 56 (no aa and smaller)
with a Celeron 500.

Gummi-worms, maybe?

What are those, real-life stuff? I think there is a glass worm come to
think of it.

Thanks Tor. Glass takes too long though :-\
BTW, wish I had a maths brain like yours.

They are a soft, translucent candy. They come in various shapes such as
bears, worms and dinosaurs.

Maybe if you used sphere_sweeps instead of spheres/blobs you'd cut the
render time to a sane level *with* photons and shadows and aa and all.
Then again, maybe not :)

It seems like you too know some math.


Btw.:
Most of the time I only use math that are 
taught at the gymnasium.

Hi Peter,

I don't know how to do a smooth colour change with s_sweeps, I don't
see any way to apply a pigment to each vector.
Also, I probably should have refered to my 2 posts "Glass blob in 56h"
and "...2h" on 24 Oct here in pbi. I calculated a new pigment for each
sphere and that's the problem area. I used a smooth run RYGCBMR.
Applying only a single texture at the end of the blob (or merge as I
used here) does reduce time of course.
