Just a scene I've been working on for a few days, several minutes at a 
time. The scene contains one light_source and uses radiosity. I'm not 
pleased with the usual media artifacts when trying to simulate 
subsurface scattering, so I took the easy path and gave the wax a 
texture_map with variable ambient settings.

I thought a candle was an appropriate subject given the time of year we 
are in. The arrows pattern was something I just had to try after Alex K. 
recently posted one to this group.

Any questions or comments are appreciated~

I really like this.  All of the objects are quite realistic.

I'm not sure if sub-surface scattering would have helped very much.  It
appears that you found a good solution to that problem.

Somehow, I feel my eye is being drawn to the flame...  hehe  ;-)

Love that, err, thing, the candle is sitting in.

Looks a bit painted IMHO. Have you tried avoiding the media side
effects (fuzzy shadow, transparent edges) with interior_texture?
