Description
This is my all time favourite piece of work, because it took me about a week of experimenting to get it. Far longer than any other render, but it really paid off!
This tutorial was invaluable
http://www.luxrender.net/wiki/Creating_Beautiful_Caustics
The two tricks are to have smooth edges on the glass, and a REALLY small light source. Like crazy small.
Modeled the glass-ball-thingy in Hexagon, Multiplane Cyclorama is the backdrop.
And after staring at for far too long, I noticed a part of the caustics that looks like a snake head, hence the name.
Enjoy!
