Very nice one but... I miss the imperfections: (small) scratches, 
blemishes, stains, etc.  Too perfect as is. ;-)

Yes, I agree. Maybe it needs slightly 'blurred reflections.' That seems to be a
tell-tale sign of 'metal' (except for polished chrome?)

i'm pretty sure that'll happen in version 2.0 ... i'm already working on 
it. i /had/ a doh moment with the procedural normal i'm using when i 
realized that with the current uv map i /should/ have used warp { planar }

Sure did. I was wondering if those red hot pixels from before might be purely a
side effect of SSS or if somehow caused by a small amount of reflection in the
texture or external object (floor).
Apparently I never asked about it before, and I can't see any reflection in
either of the marble texture renders.

Not that the other marble looked too transparent to me, like what do I know of
marble in all its possible appearances, but I can see how this one has more
solidness or perceivable larger size compared to that.
