Description
Modelling/render: Strata 3D Pro 3.8
Post work: Ulead PhotoImpact 8
Ok, I admit it. Total "eye candy"... very few better color combinations than black and gold... :)
Radiosity rendered at larger size then resampled down to 800 wide. No Anti-aliasing, 9x9 pixel OverSampling, though.
No conventional lights, and ambiant light is off. One of my own custom glowdome maps. Note the caustic reflections inside the rings; Strata does this without photons (photons only work with regular light objects).

You have so much skill it's scary.
very cool. perfect realism.
On seeing this wonderful piece of craftsmanship, I am forced to come out of retirement, as I think that "Tha_Paradoxical_One" has said it best Howie - " You have so much skill it's scary." To add my 1 and a half cent's worth to his well stated wisdom - it's not only your amazingly scary skill, (something acquired only through diligent practice) but it's also your truly astounding sense of compositional juxtaposition of the elements you built an image from. There's a balance and pleasant acquiescence within the arrangement of common objects you assemble that's pleasant, warm and non threatening. Precious few have that sense of aesthetic placement that makes a 3D designer a true artist - you my friend are the epitome of both worlds.
looks great I've been playing around with some light stuff I'm going to tring mimicing this
