No, I just use the T900a dongle device.

does it look like this?

hmm, no it is more like this:

It connects to a USB port.
It is not possible to warp space enough to fit an entire PC... what it really does is send only the CPU electrons through microscopic temporal opennings back in time and then the electrons come back in a matured state.... (like the have grown beards and stuff ...).

ahhhh, the delorean....T900a? Released after the DMC-12?

Hey!
Stop hijacking my thread!

So I quickly made a program called MXGrapher to graph the file size
Here's the graph for the current progress on this project:

(sorry for such a big image, but it's needed to clearly see the curve)

Note1: I did NOT draw this by hand (I'm not sure why it looks so wobbly at the start)
Note2: I switched from 1h to 10h render time per continue at around 128, which is where you'll see a small drop, as well as a smoother curve

sorry bout that, is just that somehow i knew thomas could take full advantage of a usb port.

I understand now why i couldn't achieve my version of your dispersion of dispersion

Well, you can see the dispersion early on (within a couple of hours at least in the preview window) the main problem was to see reflected caustics and for the grain of the caustics to clear a little.

I have to say, caustics in this beta is a severe pain. Everything else could be ready within 6 hours and then have to wait a week just for some grainy caustics.

Caustic are not the only effect with this slow converges problem. Very often the whole image looks nice and only the sss or the reflections need much more time to come right. I hope, Maxwell 1.0 will do it better.

This is what i've learned: Uranium-235 decays quicker than Maxwell achieves sample levels.

I bought one of those biology seed-sprouting kits so that I can watch grass grow.

It turns out grass grows a little faster, than some of my renders.

Of course 1.0 will change all that .

I also believe that the drying time of oil based paint has a slight edge on Maxwell , .......although ----a slim margin.
