I built this quick scene in Wings3d and it's rendering at the moment (about 21hours so far).
Basically I'm just looking for any comments and criticism you might have, especially whether its worth leaving it to render for longer. My main problem is that at the moment it still has those small but really bright grainy bits particularly in indirectly lit areas. It seems that as soon as some of them are resolved into caustics or reflections or whatever, more of the spots appear... Obviously they can be removed in image edit later on (but this still doesnt look too great), but are there are any clever tricks to minimise this effect during the actual rendering?
