Quote - OK, I had a slight issue with my slave drive crashing after 257 hours, so I had to start again from scratch. (I was not happy to say the least...) I am doing no more on this.

Final full size render after another 375 hours to 15k56s/p. bloom and vignetting in render, and some chromatic abberation added as described in the comment here... http://fav.me/d5lh15d (Lux seems to do Lateral Aberration only - i.e. gives no effect centrally, but increases towards the edge)

I then noticed that there was still one part that had gone black, but hopefully it is not too obvious... And set the tube rack to glass, as could not dform properly the last download...

I did add one of John's candles, hopefully that counts as adding a light rather than an object? ...and one flash of scaled down lightning to the plasma globe. All links to the lightning, John's candles etc in the linked description above.

Time to start something else I think...

Fantastic!  Sparkling clean and vivid detail.  Worth the time?  I don't know if I'd go anywhere near that long, but it sure does look good.

I will mention just one niggle that I have, and that's the texture on the rat . . . unless he's morphing in and out of another dimension, and we're not seeing all of him at the moment.  ;-)
