Howdy,

    I'm still calling this a work in progress but I think it's WAY better 
than the first time. I still can't decide which brass I like better .... the 
transom, or the bell/spittoon. I do however like the scattering media effect 
around the jug, it doesn't  use a density or color_map. Perhaps I need to 
tweak my viewing angle in order to get more of the same effect with some of 
the other objects. Fire away if you have any ideas.

That reflective window frame looks like it's shooting out of the cork in 
the jug.  Shift the jug or camera a bit so they don't line up. 
Photographers call this a case of the sprouts, like when a telephone 
pole sprouts out of someone's head.    ;-)

The textures on the jugs and the wooden tabletop are screaming for 
stronger antialiasing. That said, this looks pretty good.

I'm impressed by how you used the media; once most people decide that 
they're willing to dedicate the extra render time to scattering media, 
tend to crank it waaay up to make sure that you notice it. Your use is 
delightfully subtle. At first I wasn't even sure that you were using 
media at all--I just felt that there was something "right" about the 
lighting that I couldn't put my finger on.

Good show. :-)

ah ... yes since it's still a WIP I used method 1 depth 0.3. better AA is 
planned for the final run.

besides scattering I used a little absorption to cancel out the bluish tint 
from the window and a little emission for it's final color .... btw: it took 
almost 12 hrs for this render.

Hey thanks!

haha .... I misssed that. I had to move the transom a bit as I didn't like 
how the tripod leg intercepted the window leading in the far window. easy 
enough to move the jug just a bit, but I think I'll try a few lower quality 
renders with slightly diff camera angle in hopes of picking up more of the 
scattering effect. good feedback .... thanks!

Jim
