thanks ^_^ it has 5 volumetric lights and gi D: pwned my laptop

Edit:but i also had caustics on and that totally destroyed the render. it stopped with only the shitty gi prerender view

Here it is! I used the settings that it came with.

Also, I just saw your edit...I will try to render it with caustics to see if it works.

Interesting abstract piece deridor!

although it seems a bit over-complicated for the level of detail in rendering.

Since it's a purely black background, the lights don't need to be nearly that bright to create a magical effect, I'd tone them down a bit.

a simple HDRI sphere (even without GI) would make this scene a lot better, even if the camera doesn't see it, simply because it appears the spheres are reflective, but without a proper HDRI mapped sphere around the scene, the reflections won't be able to achieve the level of realism that could make this render so much better.

If you don't mind, I'd like to take this onto my computer, change some things, and present how I would render it.

Rendering, added an HDRI (HDR IMAGE), increased diffuse depth in GI to two (will have more ray bounces), added a camera with a 'depth of field' effect, and increased anti-aliasing levels from 'geometry' to 'best' (2x2 & 4x4).

Rendering on my friends computer (8GB ram, ATI Radeon HD 5870, 3.0 quad core PCU) will most likely take approx. 1.5 hours.
