Hello,

It's been a long while since I've posted in these newsgroups, but here 
goes:

I'd designing a Christmas e-card for a client, and I'm trying to get a 
realistic looking ornament. You can take a look at my current render at:

Right now, the code for the ornament is:
union {
        sphere {
                <0,0,0>, 1
                pigment {color red 0.45}    
                finish {
                        ambient 0.2
                        brilliance 6
                        diffuse 0.6
                        metallic
                        specular 0.95
                        roughness 1/120
                        reflection <0.5,0.03,0.03>
                        }
                }  
        intersection{
                cylinder {<0,0,0>,<0,1.25,0>,0.3}
                cylinder {<0,-1,0>,<0,2,0>,0.2}
                        pigment {rgb 0.8} 
                        finish {
                                ambient 0.2
                                brilliance 6
                                diffuse 0.7
                                metallic
                                //specular 0.80
                                //roughness 1/120
                                reflection 0.1
                                }
                } 
        torus{
                0.2,0.01 
                pigment {rgb 0.8}  
                finish {
                        ambient 0.1
                        brilliance 6
                        diffuse 0.7
                        metallic
                        specular 0.80
                        roughness 1/120
                        reflection 0.9
                        }
                rotate 90*x 
                translate 1.25*y
                } 
        torus{
                0.1,0.01 
                pigment {rgb 0.4}  
                finish {
                        ambient 0.1
                        brilliance 6
                        diffuse 0.7
                        metallic
                        }
                rotate 90*x 
                rotate 90*y
                translate 1.55*y
                }
        scale 40  
        translate <-50,-6.5,0>
        } 

What I need to do it to get the ornament to look more real. Right now, 
It still looks flat, and the reflections aren't right. Does anyone have 
any suggestions on how I could improve the ornament? Thanks!
