Nice animation - very believable.
AnAardvark - yep that's right. That object will not show up in reflections on other objects, cannot be seen by refraction, and is ignored for purposes of calculating ambient occlusion. The latter has nothing to do with bounces - its implied that AO always has 1 bounce looking for nearby objects that block the ambient light.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
