Thank you.

Actually that blackness is caused by radiosity. I find max_trace_level 20 adequate
for this scene.

Yeah. It looked good with lights and highlights.

I will de-correct (sp?) the original map.

Yes. It's just a bit smaller than the glass. Does it look wrong?

This didn't mean to be a good composition. I just put together some of the objects
modelled to see how they looked with these specific light conditions.

Huh, I don't know...

Not much, too bad. Peak memory used: 126 MB. Memory available at the moment: only 128
MB. I will buy some more RAM next week.

Yes and no. You are right that it must be a cloudy day (or a cloud is temporarily
covering the sun). But that does not imply a lack of highlights: the sky is still
much brighter than anything around.

Even though it might be your first AWESOME ROLEX said. It has many times
been quite evident you have #declare AWESOME_ROLEX=On in your scenes ;)

Jonathan,
    Incredible pic, you obviously put a lot of effort and care into your
work. I can only hope to get as good as you are! Would you please let me
know what you use for a modeler (if you use one), and any other relevant
details for this pic?

Thanks,
George Pantazopoulos

I normally do not use any modeller. If I have to, I go with Hamapatch.
There's not much to say about this scene:

-the ouzo bottle is simple CSG.
-the wine glass is a lathe object.
-the corkscrew is CSG+blob+isosurface.
-the body of the pepper jar was modelled in Hamapatch. The cap is CSG.

About the lighting: I indeed cheated here... but the trick isn't hidden that much.
You can figure it out yourself... ;-)
