Hello all!
I rendered this a few weeks back just before I went away on holiday, so it isn't cooked quite as long as I'd like at full res... well I'm satisfied for now
Anyway, full res was 1280x1024 which is still noisy grrrr
so I scaled down.. but I like this result as its straight from Indigo (apart from borders/text/scaling) ie no noise removal needed at this size (for my taste anyway )
Cooked 53 hours & 40 minutes, up to 2275 mutations/pixel at full res (not quite enough in this case, but the caustics came out nice finally )
Thanks for looking, hope you like it!

Thanks for your kind comments everyone!
@ Maluminas:
easy to model but it took me a while to figure out!
Any program that you can get a spiral path with and then extrude along that path is good.
That is the easy way, I think you could also do it with array tools in some progs to get a spiral, also it's called a 'spring' tool sometimes I think.
The hard way would be to extrude a shape manually, though you could setup a macro if you know the angles you want
After that it's a piece of cake - just a matter of rotating all the parts into place and cutting and joining those that you want together. No maths or anything, because they're springs its just a load of 90degree rotations to get them aligned.
looong explanation doh! anyways hope that helps!
EDITEDIT: oooeps why is it in the gallery twice? not that I mind lol!
If I post something on the forum should I avoid putting it in the 'new images upload' ??
sorry I think thats my fault..
