Oh, and I have to ask....where is the light? And what did you use for a light?"

... I'd say... the patience of a rock
Here's some technical details on the settings [link]

It's a beautiful piece of work. I congratulate on waiting that long! That's almost enough to make you think about building four or five really fast machines and putting them into a dedicated network! (Heh...imagine the cost!)

But it is beautiful. I did a shot inside a cylinder using the 3Delight render engine, and it was very interesting. But when I realized what it would take in Lux, I had to just give up...

Thanks for the info...

Gary

Thanks capn-gary.
A good thing in Luxrender is that it can run rather quietly in the background... So, if you aren't in a hurry, it's not a real problem to let it go for a long time... At least until you have another rendering idea...

My laptop has 4 gigs of memory and a dual core CPU, so I can do some things while Lux is working, but I can't run Daz Studio, or another big program like that. As near as I can tell, neither Studio nor Lux have good memory managers in them. Studio gobbles up the processors. Poser gobbles up the RAM. Lux seems content to use a modicum of the processor once it's settled in on an image, and isn't super memory hungry.

Lux is running in the background right now, as a matter of fact. The laptop is air-broiling my left leg. LOL...

Anyway... It's nice chatting with you, and I'm glad I'm not the only person who's really experimenting, although my experiments are quite a bit simpler than yours!
