+ Refraction +

I've always seen these little crystals in my mothers kitchen, refracting the sunlight as it enters the room... resulting in little rainbows all across the room. Of course, there is not a rendering system on the planet that can incorperate the refracting light from a sun ray. (if there is. PLZ pm me. id love to see it) But I felt it was time to give these little crystals some justice.
36hr render, (Due to volumetic and surface caustics)
80k photons
and.. about.. 12-13 polygons! yes. thats right. 12 poly's took 36 hours to render.
2d and all color done in photoshop (color was overlayed on the already present lighting on the floor from the render)
