Hey Jellby,

    Not too shabby.  I think gold is a hard thing to depict
realistically.  If radiosity doesn't affect the scene very much, you
might want to try photons.  They're fun to use with gold textures.  I
thought you might like to see a Brazil render my friend John Henriksen
did of a scene he modeled in 3dmax.  It might give you some ideas.  For
the table he used a height field generated from a scan of a cutting
board.  He had to do a lot of work by hand in Photoshop to get the text
up to such a high resolution.
