Fantastic!

Makes me want the QX9650 even more ;) But it's $1200.00 just for the CPU
alone...!! :O


You know that feature you just implemented would be great for when a render is
almost done but there are still 1 or 2 noisy areas (e.g. caustics, or in a dark
corner) and you could concentrate all the power just on that section -
brilliant!

By the way I've been meaning to ask you - where does the interesting striped
reflection in the pink glass box (next to the yellow/gold sphere) come from? I
couldn't replicate that when I tried to recreate your scene last time.
