Quote - Finally I changed the shaders. I did not change texture files - they are what comes with the product. I would change them for procedurals, myself, but I want to show what you can do just by shader changes.

After changing the shaders to good ones, I adjusted light levels. It's not worth tuning light levels until the shaders behave themselves. Otherwise, you're chasing something you should not be chasing.

Now it's starting to look like something.

Render time: 25 minutes.

My computer has Intel I7 860 CPU and 8GB of RAM, FYI.

So have people become so accustomed to the magic that no one has said, "Wow!" yet?

It's an impressive transformation indeed.
