Hi.

It started as an exercise on how to make a book. At the end, this scene
came out.

The lighting is a bit strange. Is it possible, that the lamp shade has the
"no_shadow" applied? I would expect, that the room is darker above the
shadow of that ring. The cup and the candle holder are a bit to shiny and
reflective, I think.

But that all doesn't really matter. It's almost photorealistic! That book
cover looks really good and the table is just ... realistic.

Good work!

  I agree. Alberto's paper book cover texture is perfect. I can't figure
out what those seed-like objects are in that glass tray, though.

Almond halves?

By the way, what are those other objects reflected in the lamp base?

Very nice picture! Have you tried rendering it with radiosity?

Regards,

An excellent scene - and very appropriate. I am sure the book is real, where can
I get one?  

Don't like the shiny floor though and the vase(?) is rather strange and detracts
from the scene.

Finally something that raytraces with a bit of realism. Good work! I
wish ALL raytraced pictures were easy to give a real look. It *should*
actually be easy! Everything in reality, looks real. Even the most clean
white ball.

And now, computer speed has reached gigahertz measurements. It's time to
rewrite raytracers to use "real" formulas. Especially for lighting.
Well, maybe a provoking comment... Never mind... I like this picture but
I'm sure it's been a battle to adjust everything for the "real look".

First I thought, they were stones of plums, but after a closer look I would
agree with peanuts. A bit too big though, or those "Jumbos".

Nice!
I especially like the peanut-bowl-thing, and the reflections in the lamp.
The table texture is perfect! Wanna share it? ;-)

Yeah, after looking closer I agree also that they must be peanuts. Almonds
are darker brown with an off-white center.
