The things people do when on their significant other's request :))
Anyway, it is a really stunning image! The ash looks very similar to
some of the cigars I've smoked (ex. King Edward's) and yet different
from some others (Romeo & Juliet). It probably depends on the way the
machine stuffs the tobacco in there.
5 months... I think it's worth the wait, esp. if you forget about it
after the first few weeks :)

Very nice image! I like the antique styling and fade at the top, love the deep
deep red tone. Only problem, I would expect the cigar to have a much more matte
finish. Good detail on the ashes tho.
Now render with photons! ;)

Yes: the finish on the cigar should be different: now it has IMO a
plastic look. The scene as a whole is very impressive!

It WAS rendered with photons. That's why you can see the flares of light
near the glasses on the desktop.
I debated the cigar finish a long time. Different cigars have different
wrappers and some of mine have a shiny finish while others are matte. I
felt the wrapper does look odd through. The "leaf" just doesn't come across
right.

Very very impressive - but 5 months? wow, more patience than i have!
maybe platform independent network rendering is now one of those must have
features...

Stunning image. I like specially the book and the eyeglasses.
Five month for rendering, isn't it a record? I have never heard about
such a long rendering time.

There seems to be a scale problem and a camera angle problem too.
Time to re render. The cigar texture needs a bit of work, it
doesn't look dry and cracked enough.

After 5 months I think I'll pass on the re-render.

Ah. Very subtle. I was looking around the ashtray and shot glass and not seeing
caustics.

I'll take your word. Being underage one would hope I don't know too much about
cigars ;).
