Well, here goes nothing. 9h45min worth of it.

The bottle, glass and (almost invisible) cap are all lathes defined (cubic
splines, BTW). I made the mistake of choosing a very light green as the
color for the bottle and cap, while choosing some varieties of green also
for five of the tiles. Poor choices, I know, but I won't repeat them.

Some technical characteristics:
* max_trace_level is set to 10.
* There is an area light iluminating the scene from behind.
* Radiosity is on, with all default parameters but the count, which is set
to 50.
* Photons are on, with all default parameters. They are shot at all objects
but the tiles and the white background.

I can think of several ways to improve the looks of this scene, but your
comments, as always, are welcome. What I am really interested in, though,
are ways to use radiosity and photons in this scene and still get better
render times. Any thoughts on that?

Ruy

I like it.  Perhaps the tiles should be a bit thicker.

The glass of the bottle seems way too thin, compared to a
normal bottle.

Best,

 It only needs a "real scene" around, to have something to reflect.
About render times, area+radiosity+glass is a very slow combination, and
I doubt you can do something to decrease it except by loosing quality.

Aside from the bottle neck and the tiles being a bit thin, i think its
perfect :) - well worth the 9 hours
