I dont know about the right forum, because i rendered this image with
megapov.
But i love this glass things (excuse me my english, i dont know the right
name for this, maybe marbles?). Do you now this things from your child
years?
This is my first image with hdri and radiosity.
The colored kernel(uuups!) are modeled in Blender.
I wanted simply show to you this image.

Nice work.
I think I've lost my marbles. At least the cat's eyes. But these are pretty
new replacements. And yes, you do get mixed colors, but also monochrome as
shown. Glass - cheap soda glass may be a little green but clear is cool.
It might be a challenge to take the shine off them and place them on some
dirt in a contextual setting. e.g. http://www.iaw.on.ca/~jspirko/marbles.htm

Very nice, very realistic!
Yes, I remember them - used to play with them at school (primary school). We
used to make a little hole and then then roll them toward the hole - can't
remember the rules, but somehow you could take another guys marbles if
yours landed closest or something.
Oh, nostalgia!

Yes indeed! And I remember you had small ones, and big ones (called Stuiter,
in Dutch). In France, I remember we had also very cheap ones made of backed
clay, painted in bright colors.

This is the right place.
Yes, marbles :) Very pretty. Reminds me of my childhood.

Haha - you wouldn't be seen dead with those. Oh the ridicule!
Those were the type you hid somewhere with your shoes - a big glass one with
a yellow insert, now THAT was status among the boys (literally).

The interesting thing was that the clay marbles could be smashed to pieces
by the glass ones. But otherwise, the clay ones were well accepted, and you
could have lots of them, while the glass marbles were fairly expensive.

You had to shoot others' marbles with yours and then send yours to the hole.
Something like that. There were also metallic balls (sometimes from ball
bearings), and mirrorred and semi-mirrored iridescent glass ones, and
ceramic ones with coloured "speckles"... I think I have a bunch of them
somewhere in my room.

I remember those steel marbles my father brought back from his work. They where from
jet engines
maintenance dep. He worked in the maps departement at the Dorval International for Air
Canada.
Unbreakable! Me and my brothers where never able to so much as dent them. Great fun ;)
