Well, I overdone the render settings for the above image because I was going out late for the night to a birthday party and I had the render time to spare.
The above was a terrible 10.5 hour long render, but I thought, what the hell, I won't be here anyway!
Render details of 0.85, AA 6max(completely un-required and the main culprit of the long render time), GI 2/4. Atmo' samples were 48 here.
This test render(ugly) I'm attaching next actually had higher GI(3/3) but lower AA(4max) and atmo' (32 samples). The main render detail was 0.65, I
think.
Of course, there are no enabled objects here, one less cloud layer and, the image is a bit smaller. Displacement is also significantly less on the glacier and there is no reflectivity on the stones at the foot. It took just under 1.5 hours for me to render that one. There's not too much difference in overall render quality at all, though, it all adds up!
I only render on 2x 2ghz cores and, usually, I don't go over 4 or 5 hours for a main render.
