I like it... although I find the objects troubling. I think they're 
planning an invasion...

Very nice.
The green texture resembles to me the back of a cetonia aurata.

yes it does! ok ... i'll go ahead and admit i had to ask the oracle

The base pigment /was/ <0.65,0.5,0.25> ... a pretty good looking gold, 
but since Ive came up with some nice looking gold I decided to change it 
up a bit.

#macro MetalMat (Color)
material {
	texture {
		pigment { srgb Color*1.5 }
		finish {
			brilliance 4
     			diffuse 0
     			metallic
     			specular 0.80
     			roughness 1/40
			reflection { srgb Color roughness 1e-5 }
			}
		}
	interior {
		ior 1.5
		}
	}
#end

the calls: MetalMat (<0.65, 0.15, 0.25>) MetalMat (<0.5, 0.65, 0.25>) 
MetalMat (<0.25, 0.5, 0.65>)

the inside ... trojan horse???

This version is after the fix that allowed me to go to +am3 +r6 (btw: 
danke) ... yep I'm impressed with the difference from +r4 to +r6.

I went from roughness 1e-3 to 1e-5 which is about right for this scene 
... now you can see some of the other sphere's ... there's 14 of them. 
Less blurring in the reflective also gives a better look at the 
surroundings.

I like them better now. More realistic, less worrying. Maybe they're 
from this planet after all.
