I like especially the column, it's very realistic.

I submit this for your verification.
I am a bit suspicious of its pristine condition with no visible sign of
wear. The edges are milled and the lettering is embossed. The only thing
that alays my doubts is its efficacy in prompting me to start rendering
again after a seven month lay off. I am currently rendering a pictorial
view overnight (50% after 2.5 hours) with higher settings.

Stephen, that is not only a fake but it also carries the virus
'MaybeLater'. Isolate it. Destroy it at once.

So now we know who sends out those "Your PC is infected" emails.
I was affected by: "Don't put off until tomorrow what can be put off
today." syndrome. Until I discovered the word of... ;-)

Maybe the texture is a bit distracting? Looks good however; have you
tried to play with less translucency too?
Like with my tuit, I am a bit worried about sslt and text. I would like
some learned comments on that particularly.

Well, you aren't going to get anything learned from Stephen or me :-)

I already lost that hope indeed ;-) but there are those who keep their
learned knowledge jealously to themselves...

I agree but I just modified a texture that, that I liked, which I had made for
the RC4 SSLT. The original translucency was too high and the value here is a
tenth of what it was.
The colours are too dark for expensive jade and need to be lightened.

Indeed, I thought that I would try to sink the text into the body for a
comparison.

Your text seems to be almost placed on the cylinder and not a part of it. I
assume that you use a merge. Since my model has lots of differences, (I
differenced the basic model from a blank, to create a mould. Then differenced
that from another one to get rid of the internal structure.

I also sank the text into the body, both positioned at the origin for
the z-axis, and using a merge to get rid of the internal geometry. As
the geometry of the letters is much smaller than the tuit's object, I
concluded that they would need a smaller mm_per_unit value but I am not
sure if I am right with that assumption.
