Attached Link: Original Release Version
This image took nearly 11 hours to render Pre Patch. I took a little over 2 hours to render with SP1b. The big difference is in the mirrors. Pre Path it would growl and grind for every bucket full in the mirrors. It still has to work for them, but it's not grinding the hard drive. The Mirror quality is better too. I'm not sure yes if the gain is across the board or just in Mirrors. This image has a lot of reflection. The attached Image is the SP1b version. The gallery image here http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=256233 was rendered in the release version. About 11 hours P4/1.8 512 RDRAM W2K [![ngsmall02.gif](http://www.nerd3d.com/Banners/ngsmall02.gif)](http://www.nerd3d.com)
