Thanks Alain and Darren of suggestions.
Thought I'd share what I have so far. I'm getting some artifacts with the
glass container, and the upright connectors (lathe objects), perhaps my
Bishop skills need further development. I DO have sturm on but don't know
where they (artifacts) are coming from ... perhaps viewing angle, or
lighting angle

Nice modelling BTW. Is the shape of the hourglass from RL?

yes ... it WAS in the shop last year and didn't sell. I liked it so it's on
my desk now ;-)
I'm having a good time with Bishop and I like it. Modelling in general is
hard and it takes a lot of patience. I've also had to get in the habit of
saving more often especially when I finally get something looking like I
want.

random variation to the objects, for a while. Also a tab to translate
the texture would be useful.

attractive, though.

countryman StephenS, guiding its development. Wait until you try the
animation features ;)

Hint: When you save a scene the last save is renamed as MyScene.bak, so
you can revert by renaming the extension to .bsp. Also, I like the Undo
Multiple feature.

I had camera y and look_at y the same. A couple of degrees of x rotation
made most of the artefacts go away, the rest appear to be ripples in the
lathe shape itself. I imagine a few more strategic points probably wouldn't
hurt!

Actually Thomas deG once recommended that you should roll the camera a
bit, for artistic effect.

That sometimes helps as well ;-)

hehe! Indeed... :) just a couple of degrees.
It more or less simulate the fact that nobody is holding a camera perfectly
level. And it adds an extra, unconscious, tension to the image that is
difficul to trace back to its origin if you are unaware of the trick.
