Description
I came to the idea to do some simple, colorful things.There are many shapes and kinds of colorful things, so this will be a series.
Originally I tried to render it with luxrender, but it doesn't support color absorbance for glass, so I fired up Maxwell.
I guess mental ray would also have done the job, but Maxwell was the faster way
Render time was 8 hours (i7 860, 8GB), but I think 4 hours would also have done the job without much grain.
Some glow and color correction has been done with Digital Fusion. The modelling, if I can speak about modelling, was done with Maya.

Beautiful render, and no real grain in sight!
Although it would have taken 8 minutes in MR, this is still a very nice, clean render.

Yah. mr would have been faster, but it would also have taken more time to tweak caustics accuracy and fg/shadow samples.
So Maxwell was the tool of choice for an overnight render.

I concur. You make up for render speed in Maxwell when you have almost no "tweaking" or test-rendering time wasted! Love both renderers, honestly...
