I always try to set up a little scene to render over the Christmas break so I can see what it looks like when I get back. This one, I didn't have much time to set up, so I just scattered a few warped glass pieces around to get some cool dispersion and caustics. Here is the result. It reached S.L. 34.5:

I need some motivation to go back to work after the holiday! If there's a render cooking, at least I have something... anything... to look forward to.

I do exactly the same
SL 34 is insane! I once typed 35 into the render calculator and it told me it would take infinity
Nice to see caustics and dispersion at that level

Looks cool. Out of curiosity: how long did this render for?

The mxi says 135 hours, if it's accurate. I resumed it a couple of times during the week before the holiday break. This was on our 12 render nodes.
