Here's one for Maya, haven't gotten to use it yet though. They have a trial download so maybe you wanna take a look at it...

Some of the renders look cool, but then some don't. :shrug:

While GI has become the new chrome sphere on checkerboard, it's always neat to see some.

The problem with the cone is that the bottom is an absolute hard edge with no chamfer. It is razor sharp against the floor.

What is your GI Shade Rate? The default is 15, but i use 55.

The render has a nice look to it, just not sure if the objects are chrome or glass. They look chrome to me, but what's the deal with the caustics? Transparent chrome? :)

No. i used multisubobject and made a material with 100% illumination and on the diffusemap an outputmap and gave the rgblevel 6. Very high that's why it's so intense. :)
