Somewhere around 1990 my trusty 386DX took 24 hours to render a ball lying on flat surface with some reflections, but I believed then this will get much much better
LoL I remember rendering a 2 minute flyby of Saturn and it's rings and moons back then on my shiny new 486 SX33 (the Rings alone had over 5000 lines of code). It took 9 months, rendering 1 frame per day... Ah memories
Sounds like you guys were using PovRay too
