This is my new one. Took about 5 hours to model and 20 hours 4 minutes
and 27 seconds to render. The lighting could be better. Comments,
questions, flames?

I'm sorry, but the sphere and the cone were not one of the five platonic
solids. :)
The render time seems a bit extreme, what hardware?

I know, I just added those because the space was quite empty along the
sides. Also, notice that the sphere and cone are not *in* the display
case. :)

You forgot the sixth Platonic solid!!!

The rendering time seems quite high to me, there are no lighting artefacts
visible to me, so you could try decreasing the area_lights and radiosity(did you
use ?) quality.
I would also suggest variable reflection for the glass.

There are only five (tetra, quadra, octa, dodeca, icosa.)

nice lighting, i did a scene like this a while back, based on objects inside
a glass cover, but never finished it as the glass took an age to render on
my poor ole amd k6 350, and i havnt got round to finishing now i have more
oomph

If the space is empty, crop it. Use an aspect ratio of 3/4 or so to cut out
unwanted space. I find that always make for a better composition.

At the moment it looks a bit like you decided that, since it was a raytraced
image, you had to put in at least one reflective sphere :-)
Seriously, it's a very nice image at the moment. It may just be the jpeg,
but the texture on the tetrahedron and icosahedron aren't showing up very
well.
Are you using photons?

Doh, kinda busted...it was really late at night and I had been
fiddling with test renders for about 2 hours and just said f*** it!
How 'bout a reflective sphere and...um...er...cone! Yeah cone, that's
the ticket! The whole model is just one part of a larger picture that
I am doing. Just wanted feedback.
>Seriously, it's a very nice image at the moment.
Thanks!

Yeah I know... the tetrahedron is textured in orange glass, but stupid
me, I placed it with just the back showing, so no highlights were
picked up. The icosahedron is just a reflective brass-like texture. I
was trying to put a different type of texture for each object (glass,
stone, wood, etc..) but they need some work before the final render. I
gotta figure out how to knock it down from 20+ hours.
>Are you using photons?
No, plain 'ol vanilla Pov. 1 area light and 2 spots.
