Hi!

This is the first real scene I did with Rhino and PovRay, so I'd like what
you pro's think about it!

Peter

The model looks pretty good, I might give it a more polished-looking case. For
a first it looks pretty good.

Personally i would have a flat black case but that is my preference   those
shiny silver ones get smudges on them WAY to easy....

The model looks very nice, Peter.  One thing you might want to do is make it
smooth and shiny.  It looks a little worn in the picture

Looks good except the perspective.  Move your camera further away and
use a low angle for the camera to get rid of that skewed look to the
glass.

The top of the Zippo doesn't look rounded enough. Apart from that
nice work, needs more stuff in there to make it a bit more 
interesting.

The Zippo model itself looks very good. But, the cap looks very thin -
ok, it's thin also in the real world, but thicker than nothing :-).

Not a "pro"... but I pretend a lot.
My first thought is I hope you have the real thing available for doing the modeling
and texturing
from, otherwise it's all guesses and that can turn out totally wrong.  Real life
objects don't fare
well when photorealism is wanted and you go by memory.  Artistic renderings are a
different story.
For instance, the inside of the lid there could either be nearly black and featureless
or somewhat
bright in parts from reflected light.  You seem to have a in-between there.
Anyway, I think it's a good scene to be doing.  A lighter is yet another thing I have
yet to make
myself and always wanted to do one.  There are several things that seem perfect
subject matter for
this ray tracing and that's one of them.
Ever find a flame?  I have made one (and many more) for a candle-lit scene I did a
little while
ago.  Seems I posted it to the p.t.s-f. group...  no, apparently not.  So I'll post it
there now,
subject Small Flame.

I got a pretty good flame with nested translucent egg-shaped constructs and a
surrounding sphere filled with emitting media.
