Heres a picture i made using cycles.
The picture is inspired by the cave tutorial by Andrew Price (blenderguru.com).
WOW that looks great! how many passes did that take you?
Hey thanks, if i understand you right hers the answer :
One pass for every gem mesh, and one for the environment means about 11 passes and 2000 samples.
Feel free to ask if i unserstood wrong.

The cave is narrower and mushrooms must be scattered for better look. Rest Good!!!
