Description
Based around a photo I seen when google image searching for shots of islands in Thailand. It's a very simple scene, I spent an hour building it and it only took 8hrs to render at 3000px wide. Normally, with my ageing duocore cpu and vue8, for a render that wide I'd be waiting for days!Related content

Most of my renders take only a few minutes. Of course mine don't look quite as nice as this and I can't make any landscapes.

hehe.. normally I'd agree but I enjoy having the downtime as it pushes me back onto my laptop and getting more work done on a Unity project (which is what I really should be doing with my time anyway!

also, the main reason I was surprised it rendered so quick was that it had 57 billion polygons which is way higher than I usually see in my scenes - I think something could have been optimised there

I went through the materials and it turns out all of the islands had a buttercup meadow hiding under the forest layer!
