Back in my days, we had no processors at all, sir. We did it all by
hand. With charcoal. On a rock face. In a cave. ;-)

We had no school but we had mammoths... :-)

Btw, that is an interesting record for the Guinness Book.

yep, but to be accurate, your knee was far lower than they are now.
It's never flat when tired, it's always uphill.

...barefoot, at 35 degrees below zero! With only one piece of mouldy
bread per week to eat... and not to forget the bomber attacks, the
constant threat of wolves and Bolshevist partisans in the forests! I,
for example, know of people having grown up in the Hungereifel, the
highlands south-west of Cologne, where World War II only in the 1980s
slowly dissipated, where blood feuds continue up to this very day, in
villages where the local priest was the only literate person (and many
people, due to the almost non-existing nourishment, even never learned
to speak!)...
Yes, that praised-be-what-makes-us-hard-nostalgia is really annoying...
See you in Khyberspace!

Wow, I must be younger than you. In /my/ day, we had one piece of grid paper for
plotting, and another for working out the calculations. I was slightly behind
the rest of the students, averaging 5 ppd at a max_trace level of 3. :P

You know that you have been raytracing too long when... See above. ;-)

Yeah no doubt, and 11 days seems to be the norm for combination SSLT/clear + IOR
textures unfortunately. I'm still waiting for 2 of the other textures to render
fully. There is one checker square left in a dirty ice one [been there for 6
days], and then most of the image left for a bright snow + clean ice one. Going
on 7.5 days now lol!
Such a shame that it takes such time. :|

I curently have a render going that show 24 PPH... Yes, pixels per hours :(

Wow, and I thought my hair test rendering at 8 PPS was slow!

One in the works, though I am not happy with the uniformity. I'll have to throw
a loop into the color map...
Took less than 3hr to render this though, once I removed the clear ice
component.
I'll post more from the library as they become available. :)

The SSLT version of the texture used in the rightmost torus is currently at
15PPM. :(
Here is a WIP version of the dirty slush texture with a clean slush topper,
which rendered in a few hours. I am not happy with it, as I need to introduce a
bit more non-uniformity, perhaps through rand and a loop in the colormap. I had
tried this post last night, but apparently Lorentz ghost spirited it off into
the aether. ;)
