Although being by no means what I was aiming at, this WIP is one of those that
have a beauty in their own right...
This is a snapshot of a work that's currently in the progress of being rendered
with MCPov. What is it? A door in the night sky? A stargate, so to speak? In any
case, it seems to lead to a place of imagination...

If you didn't already, I covered all the gaps in the door with transparent
triangular portals when I tried this scene. This forces rays to be shot at the
gaps, rather than hitting by chance. In other words, unless this was a snapshot
after about eight seconds of rendering, it's gonna be a while.

haha, nice indeed! Though we know it's really the stochastic sampling of path
tracing at work here... a lot more samples and hours later and the "fireflies"
go away leaving just an ordinary barely lit room... :P

Very apt title indeed. I would like this to be a stargate....

That would help smoothing the "gaps" quickly - but would it also help with the
"stars" on the walls?
(And anyways, I would have missed an interesting picture ;))

That's marvelous. But it'd be even better without the door handle!

I see no door handle there... you mean the keyhole I guess.
Well, it could be used for some purpose... maybe using media to have light
"stream out" from there... or just make it a very bright star.
