Hey all,

A little while ago we had a SOW-oriented topic going on where a few people made some SOW's.
I made one also, but with a little twist, and i got a little crazy with various premium effects and such... result was this thingy which took around about  a month's worth of rendering on a dual dualcore opteron system! Though most of the time it ran on 3 cores, and a few days it has actually not been rendering at all. So total render time might as well be roughly 3 weeks.. Either way, its about the craziest bit of premium render rendertimes i've seen!

It's got TA, which does actually make a significant visual difference in this scene. It's also got blurry reflections of various degrees, simulated subsurface scattering, and ofcourse soft shadows. And all that mixed through each other with metaballs mixing their different textures wherever they overlap.. I gues thats why it took so long! That and the 256rpp...

The render as you see it here has had some subtle photoshop tweaking done:

• levels (slightly darker shadows)
• color balance (subtly warmer midtones and highlights closer to the camera)
• gradient mapping (subtly more yellow in bright area's subtly bluer in shadowed area's)
• chromatic abberation
• DOF (generated with the help of a brycean depth render)
• Slight noise added (bryce's noise is too monochromatic)
• My name in the bottom right corner

Hope its worth the render time for an SOW :-P haha
