Been there.

Good work, Janet!
I really should plunge one day into Blender seriously :-(
If only for curiosity to see how things are done, but more specifically, I 
think, for the uv-mapping...

Aren't the apples a bit too shiny?? Or maybe you polished them really good 
before taking a snapshot :-)

hmm, those are nice.  But i have to say that my favorite apples are still an
oldie:
http://www.ignorancia.org/uploads/images/frutas/frutas.jpg

A classic ever since in my favwallpapers section.  Seems like Jaime also
re-rendered the scene these days in a larger resolution and in povray3.6
(the original was megapov) to somewhat mixed results:

in particular, i wonder what happened to the pumpkin texture and to the
shadow lines in the fruit next to the toaster...

   Me too! Perhaps it was different behavior of the filter/transmit on 
textures,
but I didn't have time to investigate it...

Janet's nice apples reminded me of one I did some time ago, and since I
haven't posted anything here for months now I thought I'd share it :)
Modeled in JPatch (www.jpatch.com), texture procedural POV.

Hope you like it!

Oh, I polished 'em up real good first. :)
Blender is a blast once you figure out how to use it. It takes a while. I'm
still pretty crappy at it. There's usually more than one way to model an
object, and usually the first way isn't the right way (but that's just my
experience). If you do try it, get the latest version, it has a much better
..OBJ exporter.

That is a nice one. The apple texture on the big render is excellent.

Those are beautiful apple textures; nice work!

I think the lights may be just a bit too bright (or the highlights are), and
are slightly washing out the great texture.

*Some day* I'll try and learn to uv-map  :-(

Crikey, ain't that the truth. It took me most of a weekend to scale the
overhang at the bottom of the Blender learning curve, and all my gear kept
falling out and then I had to go back because I'd forgotten my safety line!
;-)

However, once you've got the hang of it it's quite powerful. My problem was
that I try to learn all new software by inspecting the menu systems - and
Blender's interface is keyboard-biased. The documentation is very helpful!

I like them apples, by the way...

Bill
