Finally, a render that does it justice , courtesy of ~lyc and chaotica.

Now that I have a new computer, I was able to render this at 30k. Usually 10k vs. 30k is an imperceptible visual difference, but this image is SO prone to grain that the Quality/Density actually needs to be that high. You can see a comparison here: [link]

Follow fire guidelines/restriction, people. Because I do not like it when my relatives have to evacuate their cabins, when my family watches the news every night to find our if our own cabin has been incinerated, or when ash falls from the sky.

All three of those have happened to me, on separate occasions.

Okay, technical issues... this was rendered at 6000 quality and it is still! too! grainy!

Any recommendations for how to fix this are welcome, but you should know that this already took 6 hours to render, and that was overnight so I didn't have to use my computer for anything else.

My poor laptop. It is so abused. :sigh:

Also, I had to render this three times. The first time, Apo crashed when it was almost done. The second time, my computer's became unplugged and I didn't notice, and shut itself down when it was almost done.

Download view is bigger.

ETA: My poor laptop is even more abused, guys.

Pure rendering time: 2 days 7 hours 30 minutes 22.89 seconds
Total time: 3 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, 57.13 seconds

I re-rendered it at 2.517 zoom and 10000 quality. There is still some grain, but I think it looks much better this time.
