Soccer ball with a diffuse and slight glossy and a bump. Along with the soccer ball there is a ground plane with a picture and plane in the background with a sky picture on it. GIMP was used to make the bump texture seamless and to make the alpha map for the sky plane so that it would be on top of the sun which is a circle. NOTE only part of the sky is on top of the sun. The image is lit whit on hdri image. Rendered 2 500 sample pictures that took 24:54.02 and 24:03.34
and 1 1000 sample picture that took 47:36.15 and combined together to make a 2000 sample image that took a combined time of 96:33.20 . Time is in minute:second.millisecond . Rendered with a Geforce gt 330m. NOTE file uploaded is a jpeg so some artifacts may be present. NOTE this is an updated version that has the cloud's "dip" removed with the clone brush along with the overly blue parts of the cloud.
