I came upon Larry Page's images while browsing the Renderosity
galleries.
His gallery (link below) doesn't say much but his comments at
Renderosity say that he uses Moray and Povray. He also entered the IRTC
a few times.
The pages are graphic-heavy but worth a look, particularly for Americana
lovers.
Too bad he doesn't release some of the props, or doesn't tell more about
the images...

I'd call this "fun realism", "value-add realism", "cool realism," as opposed
to "exhaustive deadpan sterile realism for realism's sake."

Or use antialiasing...

It appears that his props are meshes, and not all of great quality.  I 
submit the teacup and saucer in 'King Edward's Imperial Paintbox' as an
example.

My opinions.  Mine.  Not anyone else's.

Noticed that too... It's unusual to see toruses with visible angles in Povray
pictures. This and the lack of antialiasing in his older pictures are strange
when one considers the art and craftmanship that went into these images.
Apparently Mr Page is a 50-year old long-time artist who has turned to 3D
(and Povray) quite recently.
