Well, "the rest of it" pretty much consists of the vise, the fly box, 
and the spools of thread. Everything else is a stand-in, and the texture 
on the desk is just to give it more dimension for the test renders than 
a flat color would have. The desk is really just 5 boxes arranged to 
look somewhat like a table.

Hmm, I was trying to center my scene around the fly being held in the 
vise. Maybe eventually making it half-completed, with pieces still 
hanging off of it. I will think about the box, though...

What yellow plastic? Oh, you mean the brass on the vise? It looked much 
better before, I need to tweak the texture to work better with radiosity.
The problem is that I used falloff for the lights, so they are extremely 
bright close to the source, and this shows in the reflections and the 
radiosity. I might attempt using only radiosity illumination.

I call it just plain ugly. :-)

I will probably make a decent table first, and a floorlamp. At least, 
once I come up with some good radiosity-safe textures for the rest of 
the stuff.
