A test scene from last year - I wanted to test Max' & Vray's capabilities of rendering millions of polygons with full GI, primary+secondary bounces, animated lights, SSS, Translucency, Glossy reflection...
It went without a hitch.. (there are some flickering on the ground,- my mistake not the software)
Created and rendered in 3ds max 2009 and Vray 1.5 - rendered on a Dell Poweredge with 2x quad core Nehalem Xeon Processors running 2.8 ghz - The scene consists of 19.8 million polygons.
