I would have never thought this holder is a blob! I would have spend hours
to model it with csg :-) I really like it!

I hate to nitpick (actually, that's a lie, I *like* nitpicking <grin>),
especially with such a pretty image, but there seem to be some rather
nasty jaggies happening in the top left corner of the image.
Specifically, the left hand side of the upper band of gold which passes
in front of the opal seems to have some very visible stepping, as if it
were constructed out of lots of cubes.
Otherwise it's a very nice image, and I wouldn't meddle too much with it,
as I've ruined far too many perfectly good scenes by attempting to put
more detail into them long past the point at which I should have stopped.
Bye for now,
Jamie.

Oh, please, nitpick away. :{)
The jagginess you mention was intended.. in a way.. I specifically wanted to
give this a hand-hammered feel. As if the gold had been hand formed around
the gemstone. If I bumped up the # of compponents on the #while sweep around
the gem, I'd eliminate most of this, and an adjustment to some ofthe other
influences would get rid of those imperfections. But I wanted them there. I
was trying to go for a more organic feel to the gold work. I've found that's
really hard to do. :{P

<smile> Blobs can be a lot of fun.. at times.. at other times they can be
very frustrating. In this scene, "most" of what I wanted the components to
do came relatively easily.

Antique look to it, the opal surface is totally blemish-free though and so it
doesn't seem to go. Maybe use a bozo color map for the container having clear
to not so clear parts? Or maybe a texture map for that matter. I like the
dulled "gold" but it tends to look like tarnished brass to me. My guess is it
needs higher color with lower diffuse.

Oops, sorry about the link addition here, I never have linked to a newsgroup
posting before and I just put what looked appropriate from the message
properties. Again, sorry, please ignore it.

Hmm.. I'll give it a shot.

A great piece of work. I've saved the texture that
you posted and might give it a try in something soon.
Bob's velvet in bottle green will look real good
behind this.
