I'll add that piano keys usually have a overhanging tab at the fronts of
the white keys too; as Ken pointed out about them they're just supposed
to be "ivory" covered wooden blocks in a typical piano. Also more slope
to the fronts of the black keys, as well as more height I think. Though
could be that they are wider than I would expect that makes them seem
lower. A more angular viewpoint might be better, what do you think? The
focal blur would most likely need lessening of course. I like the wood
texture.
That was a fairly good render time for the blur and area light seems
like.
