Results
Rendered in 2:33:13 with eight threads, four bounces, 100,000 photons, and 64, 128, or 196 samples.
Project Stumbling Blocks
My image does not seem to have any global illumination. When I look at my photon map, it doesn't look like there are
any blue photons other than on the wall and there are very few red photons.
I also have weird circles aroung my light and on my teapot. I was able to decrease their visibility with more samples,
but with fewer samples it looks like this:
I also had trouble with my stack size, but after increasing it to 3 MB I didn't have that problem anymore.
