several years ago (pre-lwv9), there was a ray-tracing challenge on another board, and needless to say poor old lw just wasn't up to par then.

i found the old model on my hdd and tried a quick re-visit.

personally, i see a fast accurate ray-traced render. very late to the party, but still a very competitive renderer.

have also attached a .zip of the object and scene. would enjoy seeing additions to this thread with render times. with my slightly outdated core2 duo, the scene as is took approx. 60 mins, after the g.i. solution.

putting up two images, the original render and a slightly processed version. just for fun.
