this scene is pretty light, as far as models and stuff...but it uses IBL and also atmosphere...fog...so it has a lot to do. 800x600 image...it took somewhere around 40 hours total

The render settings were turned down...1024 texture 32 bucket. Firefly

 

edited to say..I was also messing with some water ... but that actually looks TERRIBLE...I think the major part of the render looks pretty good..the ship...but for all the time it took...not as good as I wanted. This is cropped and jpg reduced, but you can see what it is...faveral's Warraok Kitt

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together.
All things connect......Chief Seattle, 1854
