Hi,
After many years of coding, the realistic finish has never been my best point.
Wow could I fix the unrealistic finish of these spheres?
The more I look at them, the more "fake" they look on the image.
I can't find the right combination of ambient, radiance and brilliance.

Regards

            texture {
              pigment { Red
                      }
              finish { specular .5
                       metallic
                       ambient .2
                       diffuse .5
                     }

              }
