This image started just as a test for positive and negative lights, then we ended up with this mess. Splattered purple paint balls? We tried it with DOF and also with JUST "soft shadows" (Bryce5-style) and it still didn't come out right. So we just used the standard light array... 76 radials, and some reflections. Took about 12 hours to render on an AMD 1.2/256MB DDR machine.

Lovely colour, it must be my turn then for a test render of balls. :)

I guess I'm not understanding what result you wanted but didn't get. It's pretty neat the way it is. Lin

Oh, We got the results, but you should see the pathetic previous-renders! We apologize for Our lack of text-based clarity, at times...!

Well the results here are very good indeed. How many crappy drawings did the old masters do before they did the real paintings? Lin
