Thought I'd post this to get some feedback. I think its a little dark, my 
laptop has a fairly bright screen so it'll probably look positively black on 
a crt.
The dice is a CSG superellipsoid. The radiosity, focal blur and photon 
settings are pretty much the defaults, just 'tweaked' enough to boost the 
render time up to 1 1/2 hrs on my 2.5Ghz laptop. Don't really know if the 
'tweaks' made a great deal of difference.

Yeah, it's too dark on a Tube. But when I put it in Photoshop and played
with the levels, I was very impressed. Is that floor a 'checker' list
texture, or is it an image map? That's good Parquet!

Thanks for the "very impressed" below.

Yeah, the source for the floor is below:

#declare Wood_Finish =
finish {
 ambient 0
 specular 0.4
 reflection 0.3
}

plane {
 y,-1.05
 texture {
  checker
   texture {
    T_Wood34
    finish {Wood_Finish}
    rotate y*45
   }
   texture {
    T_Wood4
    finish {Wood_Finish}
    rotate y*-45
   }
  scale 3
 }
}

Nothing particularily spectacular but it looks effective none the less.
