variance was 1e-6, confidence was 1-1e-6, I thought it would be
enough.

10x... and the font is just good ol' Times bold.

10 = ten => 10x = tenx, which almost sounds like thanks.

So it's "thanks", just faster to write :)

Yeah, but look at the red ball, you can see right through it.  The black?
striped one on the right as well, but not as much.

Ooooooh! Ahhhhhh!

There's nothing like a game of pool with cueballs as shiney & clean as
these!

Well, I was after a china look (though I seem to have failed
miserably) so these balls were actually never supposed to be played
with. But I do agree, it's great to see the reflection in the cue in
the cue ball when you're, well, cubing :)

There it goes again. This time it should look much more real. Area
lights, too.

Comments?

Very, very nice.

I think that at this range, we should be able to see the fuzziness of 
the table.

And fingerprints on the balls too, for that matter.  They look a tiny 
bit too shiny for me.  If you want to keep them that reflective, we 
should see the white ball's reflection, not to mention the protographer.

Just nitpicking, as usual.

Me too. With 18h 25min @2GHz, though, I don't think it will come up
any soon.

Nope. It's just a showcase set (who'd like to play pools with a ball
set made of china?!)

>They look a tiny bit too shiny for me.

For china? Maybe... I don't have any china around for comparison, so
any suggestions as of how to make it more realistic are welcome.

Cue ball coming up, already 16 hr in the render

> not to mention the protographer.

Considering that I am him, it would be against the server AUP to post
such an offensive image.

>Just nitpicking, as usual.

As if I didn't notice already... But thanks for the comments :)
