Hey! What's wrong with that? It's my next project after I get my stupid GD
parameter driven pencil model done ;)

Seriously, high quality models of background elements like this are
wonderful - they can really add to a scene. Of course, it takes a major
effort to render them, but they can't be beat if you want your image 'just
right'

Good work.  Slightly less light?

Cheers

The model will be available from the POV! site when it goes online, at 2
detail levels depending on how long you are prepared to wait for a render.
in both Moray and POV format.

there will also be a CD-ROM to go with the case, that can be easily textured
with your own images, oh and some books , and ermm, I will be doing a big
scene very soon, you'll see!

Very nice. And nice of you to offer it to the masses. All I have is a poor
example of a CD to go in it so yours will probably be better.

My compliments on your modelling and texturing skills! Now put your
RadHat Linux 5.2 CDs in there, too! That CD picture was really as
realistic as real life is in reality, too. I didn't comment on it as I
am using Slackware on one HD and Debian on the other and have no third
HD to install RedHat...

Two things to think about... one is caustics. I think POV's faked
caustics will suit you fine for the lid edges shadow, but photons
might prove useful for reflection caustics, too. The other thing to
try is the angle dependent patch I read about a couple of weeks ago,
if, of course, it is already public.

All in all, I am in awe of your skills. Great job!

No!, I dont have a nice brightly coulored CD Case, but I tried to a nice
dark grey, but could not get the normal right,and to be honest it didn't
show up the detail how i liked, so i stuck with a couple of primiry textures
i have in my 'dev' texture library.

I have a few sitting right over there.
Green, yellow, red and blue. Came with a set of simple CD racks I got
last year.

I want to start by saying I'm not trying to start a fight, really I'm not,
but...

This looks to be one of those images that could really benefit from PNG.

If you don't re-post it as PNG, go ahead and please mail me a PNG version (I'd
love to see the detail).
(Also, since PNG uses the exact same compression as ZIP, in theory a PNG file
version should be just as small as a ZIPped BMP or TGA)
