Hi there, Daniel.

Thanks for the effort, but I'm actually already a rather experienced Pover
(you can see most of my images on my website, haven't been active here
lately, which may be why you've assumed me to be a newbie).

I was searching for the author of that specific image mainly because his
marble-texture, made with subsurface/media scattering, was that sort of
"awesome Rolex" type of image, and I wanted to get a hold of the codes how
he did it. I've done quiet some experimenting with media (ever tried to
convert the stacked-planes-technique to a media statement? It's fun :-) so I
was hoping for some general approach idea. Just to save the time for
experiments.

Regards,
Tim

I'm sorry -- I'm new to this board and don't know all the people yet. Well,
it gave me an excuse to put together a quick scene anyway :-)_

I was trying to clear up the confusion, were you asking for POV images
that would look like real professional stones (shell and slate), or
POV images that would look like marble stones (which are not used in
real life)?

The photo links were to highlight the differences between marble and
shell which have different colouring/textures etc.

I FOUND IT!!!!

It was in p.b.a, titled "more sub-surface scattering" on 5.12.2003 by Tek. 
Very beautiful interior.

  I think you misunderstood him...

  I have never heard of go stones made of marble, so if you are going to
render stones which look like marble, they will not look like pro stones,
they will look like marble stones.
  You specifically asked for a pro-stone look...

Ah, okay, then I misunderstood you. It seemed to me like you wanted to give
me some fotos to show how I might make them from clamshells...

Actually, I just wanted to make some marble-like stones, mainly because of
nice looks and to get some experience on how to model marble-media, so to
speak.

Yup, my fault, see my reply to Bernard.

Yay, that's it! Thanks! I should have remembered that it had been an
animation, I'd probably have found it myself then...
