  I see the palm of my hand in a mirror, I don't see the back of my
hand...?

   Now I know what you mean after studying it more. That cufflink on
the right looks as though it shouldn't be reflecting a bit of the left
one. I think it's my camera settings:

  location  <0, 2.33, -2.55>
  look_at   <0.35, .7,  0.2>

    I built the cufflinks first, then added the Pov P to both
seperately. I know I should have used 'union' in there somewhere, but
I'm not used to that yet.

   A fair few, probably around 20-30 pairs a year in gold. The problem
with cufflinks is that most men want a particular style, i.e. if
they're fanatical football followers, then they want something with
their teams name on it, or if F1 fans, then a miniature Ferrari, or
artists, a paintbrush and pallette.  ;)

When do we get to see the real prototype? That's the cool think about
your jewelry pictures, always some chance that they'll turn real.

I'll take that as a compliment, thank you, I enjoyed every hassly
problem creating this. All created in sPatch... (apart from the Pov
P).  Wings is next...  ;)

Well, I can make the real model/s in silver and upload some pictures
to my (unused for the moment) website, explaining how they were made
in real time. Would this be a cool thing to do?
