Almond halves?

By the way, what are those other objects reflected in the lamp base?

Very nice picture! Have you tried rendering it with radiosity?

Regards,
Dave

An excellent scene - and very appropriate. I am sure the book is real, where can
I get one?  

Don't like the shiny floor though and the vase(?) is rather strange and detracts
from the scene.

Finally something that raytraces with a bit of realism. Good work! I
wish ALL raytraced pictures were easy to give a real look. It *should*
actually be easy! Everything in reality, looks real. Even the most clean
white ball.

And now, computer speed has reached gigahertz measurements. It's time to
rewrite raytracers to use "real" formulas. Especially for lighting.
Well, maybe a provoking comment... Never mind... I like this picture but
I'm sure it's been a battle to adjust everything for the "real look".

First I thought, they were stones of plums, but after a closer look I would
agree with peanuts. A bit too big though, or those "Jumbos".

Nice!
I especially like the peanut-bowl-thing, and the reflections in the lamp.
The table texture is perfect! Wanna share it? ;-)

Yeah, after looking closer I agree also that they must be peanuts. Almonds
are darker brown with an off-white center.

That looks good, i really like the finishes of all the objects.  Of course
radiosity would be worth trying for the darker areas.

The light source of the lamp looks like a cone with double_illuminate
modifier. So you are right, there is a no_shadow in effect. But above
this cone I put another semi-transparent cone to make the lampshade cast
a shadow.

Mmhhh, may be. I'll see what can I do.

Thanks for your comments. Bellow is the table texture but sometimes, a
texture which works fine in a scene doesn't in another.

texture{
	finish{phong 1  reflection .075}
	pigment{wood  color_map{[0 rgb <1, .5, 0>][1 rgb .9*<1, .5, 0>]}
		ramp_wave  scale 5  rotate <0 90 0>
		warp{turbulence .0625  octaves 6  omega 3  lambda .35}
		translate  50/6*z
		warp{repeat 50/3*z offset <75,20,0>}
		translate -50/6*z
	}
}
texture{
	normal{wood .2
		ramp_wave  scale .5  rotate <0 90 0>
		warp{turbulence .0625  octaves 6  omega 3  lambda .35}
		translate  50/6*z
		warp{repeat 50/3*z offset <75,20,0>}
		translate -50/6*z
	}
	pigment{wood  color_map{[0 rgbf .75*<1,.5,0,1>][1 rgbf 1*<1,.5,0,1>]}
		scallop_wave  scale .5  rotate <0 90 0>
		warp{turbulence .0625  octaves 6  omega 3  lambda .35}
		translate  50/6*z
		warp{repeat 50/3*z offset <75,20,0>}
		translate -50/6*z
	}
}

In mi mind their are peanuts. But I'll make them smaller.
