Haha, probably
The only downside of iRay is that the raw power needs a LOT of computing power. This was rendered over 5h40m on a quad-core + quadro machine...

Yeah, it can take a long time for the images to clear...I can see in this image that it probably could have gone longer too

I find that the gaming cards such as the GTX series, while not as stable for rendering, can often render things more quickly because of the way they are set up. However they are more limited by smaller memory sizes.

Jeff Patton (www.jeffpatton.net) has some interesting bits on iRay on his blog.

I've researched quite a lot into rendering, so I know what you are saying, not news
One interesting thing with unbiased rendering, though, is that mathematically, to halve the rendering errors (grain) from a previous value - 4 times the additional rendered samples are required. Taken that into consideration - rendering with iray or any other unbiased renderer can take literally forever

Yes, I find all this unbiased stuff pretty interesting too

But it's not new, though. Various methods and mathematical equations were on 1986 (I think) SIGGRAPH papers as well. The only difference is that now we have computers fast enough to actually do this at home

I tried getting something similar with Mental Ray, but it's just not the same
This was iRay
