Thanks. I have a question: Are you the 8 bit man ?

The rubbery texture is perfect. You can almost feel it.

It is a very interesting picture creation. It has something. I guess, the 
connected plates on the ground are the key why your creation is interesting 
to look at. Well done! A good sense for shapes, colors, and surface details. 
Hmmm. and if you replaced the one metal connection with maybe, let's say, 
five a bit smaller ones? Not sure, though. Just an idea.

Greetings,

Sven

Hmmm. Let's hope he can dispose of more than only 8 bits. I wish it for 
him...

Could you explain a bit how you implemented the lighting in this
image? As far as I can see, lighting is the one single element
(besides focal blur) that makes the image very photorealistic.

   HDRI alone is not enough to explain shadows and some of the lighting.

The only light source :

sphere {0.0, 1000.0
  pigment {image_map {hdr "kitchen_probe" map_type 7}}
  finish {ambient 0.5}
  rotate y*-80.0
  no_image
}

The only other comment I have is about Thunderbird, how come they still 
don't implement threading properly after all this time!!! Inexcusable!

A new word for me:  "fettling."  I had to look it up.

And I agree.  Nice touch, nice picture!

Works for me, you must have threading deselected.
Go to:  View->Threads   and there are several options.  Mine is set for 
"all".

No the threads are displayed correctly but Thunderbird doesn't implement 
thread ID based threading. It sorts threads by their subject title 
instead. Therefore if you make a post with the same name as a previous 
post Thunderbird will show it as a reply to the previous post of the 
same name instead of as a new Thread like it should. The thread we are 
in now is from 2000 originally and Thunderbird keeps tacking on each 
subsequent post with the title 'Abstract' to that original thread.

	Actually, they do implement thread ID based threading: if you reply
to a post and change the subject, it will still be shown in the
right thread. However, they also implement a workaround for other
newsreaders that don't set thread ID. All that's lacking is a way to
turn that #*!@ feature OFF!

Simply gorgeous.

Whenever I see such a beautiful, photorealistic image as this, the very
first thought that pops into my mind is: How many *days* would my poor
little Pentium II box be chugging away on such an image?!  That irritating
bit of reality always keeps me from attempting such scenes. :-(

What was the total render time?

Ken W.

Stunning picture - I love it. Wish I had noticed it several months ago!
