The image? No, that's not impressive. What impresses me is that I was expecting PBRT to crash - or at least bring my computer to a grinding halt for several hours - when I threw in an ultra-high-quality-ship-with-lame-greeble (a 50MB model in PBRT format) and asked for a path-traced image.
And you know what? It gave me one...in about 5 minutes. Wow.
I'm happy. Does this mean that we can get away with pushing the procedural models to absurd levels of detail that nobody could produce by hand? Yes, yes it does. And that's where this project will shine :)
(Edit: here's a version with the exaggerated red lighting. I kind of like this as well.)
