This picture is special to me for a couple of reasons. It marks another step in exploring lighting techniques in 3D graphics. I was after a soft, serene morning light and I think it comes across that way. The problem is that, the more I play with lights, the longer it takes to render a scene. I guess it shows that no matter how optmized your system is, you will always find a way to reach its limits. In the end, it still takes me a few days to render a scene. The result is more detailed, larger, better textured, but it is still a few days. Just like when I started with simple geometric shapes a few years ago.<\/P>
