Yeah, on the whole the settings are very much a 'rough draft, just to 
see what it looks like' thing...am currently tweaking things.  The 
ballerina *is* touching the floor, it's just hard to see because the 
light from the windows is so faint (the sunbeams are way 
overexaggerated).  Nothing much has been done to the texturing of 
anything, here (except for making the crystals on the chandelier 
refracting/dispersing and taking 90 of the 100.5 hours of render) and 
the flames of the candles emitting media.  I've fixed the pose of the 
ballerina some and am now testing making her less uncanny valley 
material with subsurface scattering and things.

The poser scene of the room had a whole bunch of doodads with it that I 
can add (and there's some other things I can throw in, too).
