I finally discovered the wonders of using gradients in conjunction with procedurals to make interesting textures..I did a test render (F11) on only the object for which I created this surface...a 600x 900 image.
the enhanced medium render took almost 9 hours!
the same image without this gradient layer in surface, but with caustics, highest render quality, raytraced reflections and shadows, 3 lights at 2400x3600 would take 2.5 hours max on the same Mac!
does this experience match others'?
