Unbelievable, isn't it?

After the previews in Works in progress I can finally present the finished render.

Are there different Doors of Perception In Finite Mirrors

Just another "infinite" Mirror? Isn't the mirror topic of self consciousness? Is there any connection between self and existence but thinking?

The infinite mirrors look pretty cool. There seem to be some denoising artifacts (?) but they integrate so well with the image that they are not annoying, they are rather fitting.

Thank you for the feedback!

Yes, there are some artifacts from the de-noiser. I had the same opinion about patterns fitting in or adding some enigmatic interpretations.

To remove de-noiser artifacts I had to increase to 65544 Samples, additionally I increased path depth for specular to 96, ideally depth is set to at least 168!

And here some impression I gathered analyzing the renders.

Delicate Taste of Anonymous Seduction

Actually LuxCoreRender stands for "Physical based Rendering", well, it takes a while or even more to approach realistic looking imagery of empty glasses.
