>I like the figure pose, and the water looks great!

Thanks! I had to try the pose myself to work out the bends for the joints,
then drew it up on paper and from there, the scene you see.

>Could've needed som AA though..

I hardly ever think of using AA, most likely because it is so slow. I have
no idea how much slower using AA would make the scene, but I really don't
want to have to wait who-knows-how-much-longer just to use AA, which
doesn't give that big an increase in image quality.

You're right about that. That's what quite a few of my scenes are like, and
I'm always complaining about how slow they are. Still, that's nothing
compared to your second scene (or even some IRTC entries, I saw one that
took 14 days to render!).

This rendering was done on a P3/500Mhz @ 515MHz with 384 meg ram, running
WinXP Pro. If your scene took over a day to render on a p2/450, I wonder
how much faster it would render on my computer, 5% faster? 10% faster?
