Various rendering choices? -- Challenge!
-
The internal mirror globe (Pyroluna) and the internal lighting (notareal) introduce enchanting complexities to the renders.(I especially like the "God rays" produced by the "fog" in notareal's render.)

Really nice Pentti!

Here is another try (again pure render from Thea).

Wow! I love it. What are the settings for this material? and what material is this?
Lights? -
notareal,
I'm also intrigued by your Thea transparent material for your latest.Is this material available for download (here or at Kerky website.) ?
Here's my latest (slowly improving) attempt at jade (still using Photoshop adjustments):
(I'm testing only material changes, to get accustomed to the materials editor parameters in Kerkythea. I'll move on to lighting & environment, after I'm more comfortable with materials.)

Sorry, unfortunatelly Thea materials cannot be used in KT, material systems are that different. Thea can do a conversion of KT materials, but as it does use heuristic, one might need to tune up imported complex KT materials.
But to the render... The material uses thin film interference for color and fairly simple studio with HDR. You can find full Thea scene here (Note: need to use Thea RV378 or later). -
There are some other, interesting layers in there...

A first quick one with ArtLantis. 20 seconds.

Frigging cool model, curious how it was made.Your wish is granted...
I included hidden layers in the model, to demonstrate the development of the sinusoidal "Follow me" path. The methods are conceptually simple, and radial symmetries permit copies of components, so it's not as complex as it first appears.
BTW, you may consider yourself challenged....

Indeed! Extreme "lensing" magnification, by that orb.
Nice resultant caustics, too.

You mean you used thin film and nothing else?
well, that HDRI must be a good one. -
Twilight Render. Progressive, 175 passes.
Iridescent Coated Aluminum material, two spot lights.

It must be a guy thing... we love rendering balls.

And mine is blue.

Ah, nice trick indeed. MLT is "best" when there is (are) enough light(s). In some really shady areas it can get clear really slowly.

Gai,
I liked your iridescent render enough to give it a try, using Kerkythea, Metals_Ashikhmin_MLT, rainbow_metal_02, (M)etropolis(L)ight(T)ransfer (for a couple of hours):
Actually, I only used the resultant iridescent colors, saturated and layered, in Photoshop, to "colorize" a greyscale version of my original gold render. (Much faster than waiting for a long MLT render.)

Here is another angle.

like this one A LOT!!

Thanks.
