Direct light for illumination, Photon mapping for indirect illumination. render time was 42 min. Due to time cost, I had to lower the various configuration values, so the shadow looks deeper, have more noise, lower quality. A previous render took over two hours it wasnt completed due to computer limitations. Finally finished

I think I misunderstood most of the directions.
