- The tears of a numerical pain -

This image could also be named "Maya and its numerical emorroids" because it's been a pain in the a... to render that image!! But I think it was worth waiting 4 hrs 22 mns and spend 640 Mgs to have that!!

The specs:

Resolution: 1536 * 1152
Ray-trace with an area light (10*10 samples and ray depth)
Skylight: 64 lights
Displacement: default values for tesselation and texture sampling but the objects are highly tesselated (subdivide level 3)

Here are the wire-frame geometry of the scene and the non-displaced rendered image.
