It is looking good and I look forward to learning how you did it.  Here's somthing to compare to.. Rendered in lightwave using Monte Carlo radiosity. took a couple minutes to render with three passes.. If the heavy duty math and render times weren't necessary then nobody would be doing it.

Handle every stressful situation like a dog.

If you can't eat it or play with it,

just pee on it and walk away. :-)
