MB3D 1.8.9

I was struggling with the latest Chain Pong round - & needed to bump up the interest level. Perfect opportunity to trying out the Monte Carlo render engine.
For comparison, here's the same render using the standard render method:
Definitely a smooth & crisp result with the MC. Being a total noob to this, I didn't realize that Monte Carlo never stops on its own. You have to decide when it's done. If a more experienced hand has any advice on this, please chime in.
Sooo, this version got to run longer than necessary - 21 hours of processing. Probably could have stopped it after 5 or 6.

This is the 141st entry in the Chain Pong - the response to Marcello's - ciokkolata - his Chain 00 Pong 140 c

Jorge - batjorge is up next & need to start with these parameters (MC optional):
