Yes Thomas! :o) In the earrings, it's a very easy and subtle
'over-and-under' pattern signfying the celtic style. Of course, the 'Tree of
Life' was also prevelant back then, apparently. ;)
> In the brooch it shows more.
Did you notice that the brooch is the earring design doubled-up? I'm sure
you did. Getting that celtic knot (known as a 'Josephine knot'*) in the
middle is just the top loops of the earrings interlaced with eachother - I
raised some loop-edges, and lowered some others.

Dang! You keep blushing, and now I am... Thank you.

* It was only about 7 years ago that I learnt this name for this pattern,
even though I'd used the pattern fairly extensively in my jewellery designs.
The name, and the pattern, has significant meaning for me - my mother's name
was Josephine, and that's also my daughters name too...

Alright, I have probably spent too much time with this, when I should
have been finishing a tutorial. I *had* to make a cool object to show
the gold texture, after all :)
I don't really know how good it is, and you may need to change the gold
color (I'm slightly [very slightly] color-blind). Here it is:
#declare golden = <1.0, 0.8, 0.4>;
pigment{rgb golden}
finish{
diffuse 0.3
ambient 0.0
specular 1
brilliance 2
reflection{golden/2 metallic 1}
metallic 1
}
normal{
granite scale .025 poly_wave 0.5
accuracy 0.1 bump_size -0.25
}
That surface normal is there just to give it a little extra something.
Notice the "metallic" keywords. I don't think they were part of the
POV-Ray syntax long ago, but it's good to have them now. You can also
reflect a color vector instead of just a float.
It may be an improvement, it may not be. It's all subjective.

Well, It's hard work finding the gold, and I haven't found too much. I'm
not out there every day though, panning the creeks and traversing
treacherous mines. I live too far up the hill, and all the placer
deposits seem to occur below 1500-200 feet elevation. I live at 4500'+.

Oops! Sorry, I forgot you make the real thing too. They are very pretty.

Hey Sam, first of all, that is fantastic! But, I couldn't figure out
how to use your code with the Wings method that I use. So I came up with a
different version that I've been working on continuously. Please see the
attached and let me know what you think.
Secondly, (and it should have been first), I'm *so sorry* that I
haven't replied any sooner, and I really appreciate your advice. I think you
know that. I don't mean to be rude in not replying, it's just that I've had
some serious home problems lately although it may not look like it by myself
posting around the groups recently.
Heck, you know what I mean.

If there are any big rocks in the stream/river, dig deep *in front* of
the rocks. It's those rocks that stop the big nuggets. ;)
Try to use a fishing 'Bait Pump' too, very useful. Fill some buckets,
and take them home to siv. ;)
