Can I put it in our gallery?
If yes, please tell me which name I should use to credit you (your nickname or your real name) and if I should link to a website/portfolio.
Wow, thanks :)
It would be an honor to be featured in the gallery of the most awesome render engine ever :shock:
You could use my real name (Josef Karlsson) and I guess you could put a link to my little website.

Great job! What’s next?

Could you share some details like number of samples and rendering time, please?
Thanks :)
About 12K samples but you don't want to know the render time ;)
Okay, 664 hours.

As for what's next, well, I don't know... Maybe something that doesn't take four weeks to render?

By the way, you can call it only "Symbiosis" in the gallery; the rest of the title wasn't that serious.

A render time of almost 28 days is pretty extreme but the result justifies it.
Did you realize if you take electric power of 100 W and a price of 0.2 € per 1 kWh into account your image costs approx. 132.8 €? Regarding your time spent in hours, estimating 4 h per week since 2016 you worked 520 hours, maybe at a rate of 12.50 €/h, equivalent to 6‘300 € for the work time and 104 € for electricity, all together say approx. 6‘500 €. This is grossly blatant. :D
