New stochastic raytracer

I wrote a stochastic raytracer last night. It is extremely fast and yields perfect image of any scene. Because it is so fast it is possible to use in games and serious offline rendering. It supports all features of Maxwell and Indigo and is written in visual basic. Because it is a stochastic raytracer it does not always produce correct result but if that happens just run it again until it gives you a correct result!
Here is a sample image!

I guess it just needs to converge a little more?

nah. Just rerun it until you are satisifed. Gives a new approximate image every time

Look like someone ate too many skittles and got sick.

Holy Sh*t!
Fantastic!!!
I wrote one to, 5 minutes ago
Is this a little bit better?
Click Here
I let it render for 0.65129 sec, still some noise
Oh well

Yeah...
I did
I just hit the render button like a billion times, till I had a good looking result, like you suggested

Ono ! you gotta implement this somehow!!!
Here's my try:

0.614 miliseconds

Make it so its a little less approximate

I can see slight noise-pattern-shapes, that look like a ball and a suzanne
well done, afecelis

O.o call me crazy but i dont see anything except the leaf one... a renderer that renders colored noise?
