Description
Greetings all, Today I offer you the Queen, in all her dark glory,
Originally this was a Stress Test for a GPU enabled Graphics Card. This render ran greater than 8 hours using the CPU render cycles. It completed in about 1 1/2 hours using the GPU render cycle method. Needless to say, going forward with IRAY I will be using GPU cycles. If you have a GPU compatible Graphics Card, I highly encourage you to give it a try.
For those that don't know, a GPU is part of some Graphics Cards A GPU, or graphics processing unit, is used primarily for 3-D applications. It is a single-chip processor that creates lighting effects and transforms objects every time a 3D scene is redrawn. These are mathematically-intensive tasks, which otherwise, would put quite a strain on the CPU. Lifting this burden from the CPU frees up cycles that can be used for other jobs.
A special thanks to By Mortem Vetus for the most excellent cool back ground Castle.

Ominous and cool !
That's a big difference in time. I need a better video card ;) She looks like she needs a thought caption--and she definitely flosses!
She's a very impressive dark queen ! Superb expression and POV with the castle behind, excellent render !
The queen of blood! Darn cool and scarry vamp my friend. That IRAY rocks. Keep up the great works, Dag.

She is so beautiful... but so dangerous! Superb composition and expression, great work!
Beautiful and dangerous, just the way I like'em.

Fantastic Work,
Well done, very ominous character!!!
You've captured a sense of motion with this render (maybe through the wonderfully wild hair) that makes it seem as if the Queen is about to leap out and take a bite out of us. Wonderful use of the Mortem Vetus prop as well.
Scary lady!
