THIS is my FINAL Submission. I added extra lights at the "base" of each hand since it seemed too dark and I wanted to show off more of the rainbow scattering. (semi) HERO-WAVELENGTH SPECTRAL PATH TRACING WOOOOOOOOO (// 4K-1240SPP // 12 Threads // Core i7-10750H /

PLAN A - SOOOO I wanted to try something volumetric for the glass arms, but I went down a spectral rabbit hole and WELL???? IT SPLIT?????

Plan C - Ended up Getting CORRECT Environment Mapping with HDRI's and got Absorption working very nicely. Still I Think the Adam one was nicer but wanted to share the sturggle.

Plan C - The two would be stars, but man I couldn't get my vision right.

Plan C - Didn't save shit but the idea was to put a tpot for the brain of the skull and the brain inside a tpot. Oh also Plan B never came to fruition because, although I thought it was cute, 1 and 3 had me by the throat

Funny thing. This was the initial plan but thought it was too simple, plan B never occurred b/c it required too much design in probably blender and whatnot Matryoshka doll idea, and I spent all week trying plan.
SO!!!! The idea stemmed from the creation of David but I though it'd be REAL funny if it was a teapot they touched instead.
