Full-screen AA & lots of settings turned up, so it took 2h on my Q6600. Mitchell filter to soften the image, then sharpened it a little in post.

Isn't that some hitech futuristic HIV virus cell or something?

Beautiful render.

Played with it too. There was an article on newtek forums about modeling or texturing perforated metal a few days before you posted your doodle.

Phil, i hope i'm not ruining your trick. Just wanted others to see the post too. Vfxwizard found a really nice trick there. Useful for more purposes. Check it out.

Heh. Rumbled!

Yes, that's where I got the idea. It's a very, very clever bit of modelling. When I next get some free time, I intend to see how much further I can take the idea.

Posting here was really just to show off Kray though!

nice!
whats the orig res for the render?
2 hours for a q6600 seems rather long.

1000x1000

It took ages because I turned up a lot of settings to eliminate noise (quasi random FSAA with lots of samples, for instance). There's also a lot of transparency/refraction going on, which will slow any renderer down I think. It could probably be done a lot faster but I wasn't going for optimisation.
