This is the third time I've posted here, I believe.  Maybe fourth.  In any
case, just something I whipped up because I'm bored at work and thought it
would be a good idea.  Comments and crits are welcome.  ... Especially on
how to make a better starfield!  Yeesh!

Well, I use a turbulent granite for starfields, but whatever you do, make it
brighter. I can't distinguish stars from the dust on my monitor.

Nice glass-texture!

For a starfield, this works for me:
 pigment {
  crackle form<1,0,0>
  color_map {
   [0 rgb 1]
   [.125 rgb 0]
  }
  scale .0125
 }


cu!

Starfield .. oh yeah .. there ..

I have to say that I didn't notice the starfield and once I did, I 
wished I hadn't. Confused me a bit as the bottles are sitting on a surface.

The composition, lighting and textures on the bottles and surface look 
great. The starfield (IMnHO) is not needed.

Thanks for posting!
Cheers!
