They are both texture{Polished_Chrome}. In the original it is reflecting an
otherwise unseen yellow sky_sphere, and the latter is reflecting the bright
yellow sun and blue & white clouded sky_sphere, either directly (on the wall
and die tops), or through a texture{T_Glass1} lens, on the flat surface of
which the five dice rest, permitting a view of several distorted additional
reflections resulting from the curvature beneath. The reflected sun cutting
back between the dice towards the camera was serendipitous.

:) I thought that,
1) if I was going to call it Yahtzee it should display a five of a kind roll.
2) at 800x600, a 6 frame animated .gif was going to be large enough in this
   situation, without being too huge. That being said I have the bare bones
   of an idea based on several different povray animations - if I do it well
   enough it should induce vertigo in some. That one will be 1280x1024 and at
   least 360 frames. Actually, there will be two of them (again, if I do it
   well enough).

More later. :)
