This was an old scene that I ran through Octane. At my previous job, we had to measure the electrical resistance of this one mixture. We would always have the product be above our customers specification during manufacture and loading into a truck, but when it got to the customer it was out of specification. It happened over and over and drove us nuts.

I modeled this out of frustration with that scenario.

Rendered for 4 minutes on dual GTX470's using Octane 1.0 Beta 2.42 Cuda 3.0 build.

Thanks for looking.

Wow! I remember this one back in the days, on the Luxrender forum. Bet it rendered a lot quicker this time, huh? LOL

Yeah. It took overnight rendering on a bunch of networked pc's in my house back then.

4 minutes is soooo much better.

I recall back in the times of 3d studio 3 (not max) while we were at college a friend of mine thought of rendering his project as a glass sculpture, that is, ALL the walls made of glass, he left it cooking for 48 or 72 hours. After all the waiting it was hard to figure out what you were looking at, since back then caustics and shadows thru transparent materials and such were sci-fi. Nowdays, and specially with octane, all that is so easy it's almost funny.
BTW I like the picture, but when you add the story behind it, then it absolutly perfect.
