I'm feeling a little depressed about my lack of talent for producing 
cool things with POV-Ray. I'd love to be in the POVComp, but I don't 
have anything nearly cool enough.

I made this. It's unfinished. (I plan to add more different glasses.) 
Please say nice things.

(Yes, the glass *is* supposed to be slightly tinted different colours. 
I'm not entirely sure I got the lighting right, actually...)

All objects 100% CSG. The tallest glass is [supposed to be] just short 
of 20cm tall. The scene uses photon mapping (with spacing=exp(-3)*cm), 
which gives about 85MB of photon map. I haven't tried higher yet. (I 
might actually cheat and finish this at work on that spare server next 
to my desk (!!!) with 2GB of RAM (!?!?!!!!?!! *faint*) in it...)

PS. The right-hand glass is actually tinted green. Not that you can 
tell. I don't think the glass is actually thick enough.

PPS. All glasses modelled using actual measurements from real physical 
glasses. The glass on the right did look *very* wrong - until I realised 
that the *diammeter* should be 65mm, not the *radius*. Doh!
