Hi,
    it's my first "official" render with POV (3.5beta under windows). I
slightly modified crystal, chrome and water found in the standard include
files while the green walls and the plane are made of new materials.

Radiosity and photons (about one and a half million) are present.

Have you got any comment or suggestion?

Thanks,

    Seppe

Did you use a modeller for anything, or is this all CSG?  I like the 
green color; it's non-typical of CG.  It looks like the table got 
oversaturated at the bottom though.

I made the glass principally with cones and cylinders using toruses and
spheres to soften the edges while the handle is a merge of bicubic patches.

Some month ago I modeled the same glass with Blender so in my first attempt
with Pov-ray I tried to reuse if but I found it was too faceted. With not
too much difficulty I managed to model it with the CSG technique producing a
full detailed model.

The table is indeed oversaturated... I'll reduce the phong and specular
effect.

Is green really not-typical in CG? Why?

Thanks,

    Seppe

That particular green looks kind of cream-like.  Usually colors are a
little closer to full saturation (<0,1,0>) and look less realistic.
