Quick test on an image taken from Surreal Structures from Fryrender gallery.

Good for testing materials,lights,Hdri etc...

1024x768 / 8000 samples / 30min

Nice work, but i find it strange that it took 30 minutes to render that scene with a GTX470...
what kind of environment map did you use ?

Radiance

Why you guys just render,...and not model a scene yourself ? It's no longer a chalenge to light a scene...I am confused...

It looks better on Fran's blog.

Nice question actually...if I can find an answer to that I would be amazed or throw my GTX470 out of the windows (NEVER!) anyway attached is the Hdri I used AND the scene http://imaginedesignsltd.co.uk/Mugs.rar

and to GeorgoSK:

It has been modelled by me with Rhino, of course it looks better on Fran's blog (but not very far from it), it has a very good balance and god knows which HDRi is the author using, and one more..how long has Fryrender been around?........

Lighting a scene could be tricky no matter which software yo use, is actually the key element to produce a good render and in this scene I only play a bit around with the HDrI images I have...so no real challenge for sure but not so easy as it looks....

30 min o_0.

Nice render

Nice render

Thanks

I need to optimize it in terms of rendertime, a scene is attached to my post if anyone want to give it a go....Radiance if you want to try it out....

maybe someone else can examine it?

It should be there already.. but you should open it in Octane...and you need Rhino SR7 (SR8 out now)

Here you go

I guess the scene is alright, 8000spp is just quite a lot.
I rendered it on my 8800gts for 20 minutes to 1000spp and couldn't see a difference between your image and mine after some noise reduction in photoshop…

(also the mugs are pretty polygon heavy, but that does not decrease the performance as far as I can tell)
