I've been doing some more work on my Clockwork Orange for CGSphere (more of
a clock now...).  Here's a preview.

That's looking very nice, and the conception is great!  How did you get the
grids to show up so well?  The only solution I found was to cheat and go
into the template and widen them slightly.  Even setting aa 0 and using
focal blur, I'm still getting gaps at 800 x 800.

Nice! The orange texture is looking really good.

As has been mentioned before, you can render the image larger with a good AA
setting and then shrink the image in a decent photo editor with a good
resizing
algorithm.

Thanks!

I had to resort to +A0.0 +R3 +AM2 AA settings.  Then you need to find ways
to cut the render time down.  I found that for this one, the gears were
really slowing it down, but I fixed it by using manula bouding on them.
CSG with difference can lead to bad bounding boxes at times.
BTW, you can't use both AA and focal blur.  Setting focal blur will turn off
traditional AA.

Thanks, it's really tough texture to get right it seems, between the bumps,
the colour and the specular.   I ended up spending a lot of time staring at
oranges...

I had a similar problem when modelling a whisky glass.
It was complicated by the glass mysteriously emptying :-)

Actually I can't take credit for the orange model itself.  Got it from
another scene from elsewhere.

There was a hole or a crack in your glass?

Every glass has a hole. Otherwise they would be PITAs to full.
