The die-hards kept running the program and we simulated 45.3 billion photons. The pictures are here. Thanks to all that helped out. I will be submitting the images to SIGGRAPH 2005 and a paper. (P.S. Never post your email address on slashdot. I got 900 emails! ouch.)"

Within 2 months: "The paper got a prize and I would like to thank everyone who participated PS: Never post pictures of photo's on slashdot, my webserver is nothing but photons now"

    It takes more time to download the images from a slashdotted site then actually render them!
