Very meaty. The shape has an excellent texture.

very interrestig shape and indeed, the texture makes it look very nice!
but however for a desktop it still looks too strong imho. especially for the
strong shadow in the lower left. try to make overall colors smoother by
adjusting the lightning or so. a little more ambient can do part of the
trick.

Thanks for all the input.  This is kind of a WIP.

I was thinking of putting some focal blur on there, maybe try to make it
look like its microscopic, like a lattice of atoms or something.  I'll play
around with it some more and see what happens.

Too messy now, IMO. Too much blur, and the second shape and out cutout
of the first detract from the best part of the picture, that part being
the texture on the cube sides.

I agree to a certain extent.  I'm going to take out the smaller cube, and
maybe tone down the blur a little bit...but I'm definately going to keep
the cut-out...I love that eerie blue glow on the chewy nougat center :)

What do you think about the overall colors, though?  I didn't change them at
all from the first image, but the blur really softens up that shadow, I
think.

Interesting trivia...that texture on the box you love so much (as do I) is
really just a huge number of spheres (~35k) on spherical coordinates in the
shape of a box, and not a box at all.
