It was hungry! :)

   Trying to get the enamel right here. The blue looks good to me, but even 
with the same settings, the green doesn't look too good.

    How's it looking to you for the green enamel?

It looks very realistic, a trademark of a true raytraced image.
Green is a rather brighter color than blue, so more of the reflection is
visually lost than with the blue.

Either way, great job!
:D

They are very pretty. Maybe a bit more transparency on the green?

    Thank you Janet. Yes, the green definately needs more refining. Heh, I 
love the testing side of producing an image, I must have rendered these eggs 
about 30 times now.  :)

      Of course, thanks for that. I'll try a darker green and try to get 
more transparency into it too. In fact, before that, I'll swap the colours 
to see if the green is any better where the blue is now, and vice versa.

      Thank you! I'm glad you like it.   :o)

That's what I thought, Steve. It might be positional. 
Another thing, I love your gold texture. I can see faces in the
reflections and there is one set of reflections that when you zoom
into it, gets more involved. (About 2:30 on the clock)

Can't improve on the previous comments, so I won't try

Nice one Steve :-)

RL green enamel tend to be duller than other colours, don't know why. Your is 
prety convincing.
With those gold strips, you also need red and black ones.

Good work steve, I find the green convincing enough. Just looked at it 
again and now noticed the pedestal on the left and particularly the 
feet. They struck me as something designed by someone who had worked and 
designed with the real thing. I checked the poster and guess what, it 
was you. ;)

    Thanks Alain. I'm still playing with it though. ;)

   Like the attached? Or alternating on each egg? If the latter, then that 
is a challenge indeed with these models as they are now. ;)
