Thanks.

+AD4-I'm curious as to the blue features on the front of the glass and
+AD4-come to think of it the black.  Did youse a lightsource or the
+AD4-reflection from another object to get the blue,  and is the glass
+AD4-coloured with a black smoky pigment?


The blue is actually a reflection of the sky sphere, I was eventually
planning an creating a room, so that objects would be reflected in the
pictures and other objects I was going to put on the table.

The black is due to Max trace being too low.

+AD4-In a reconstruction I'd suggest that you tone the blue down a
+AD4-bit, it's a bit too much.  Have you tried using an iridescent
+AD4-finish on the objects that you take away from the outside of the
+AD4-glass, I think it would make a big difference.

All things I never got around to.

+AD4-Hope you get round to the reconstruction soon, I always find that
+AD4-loosing code and starting again gives me an opportunity to create
+AD4-a much better image, as you probably know, half way through a
+AD4-project you start to think +ACI-Oh no I could have done that much
+AD4-better but it's too late now to go back and start again+ACI-.   These
+AD4-little accidents of losing code have a way of forcing us to make
+AD4-progress+ADs--)

I agree but it is so damn frustrating.

+AD4-Cheers
