here is one preview done using the light above and one point light, the one ball is without reflection the other with reflection node and the Torus around the balls is on standard setting and the reflect light on this prop come from the point light that I set to almost minimum to not affect the base light. The AO looks maybe to dirty but please remember that this is sort of MACRO shot of the actual scene and the balls are very small... normal way I will change the AO setting here as well .... but I have to run, I am sorry !!! see you later! Hugs! Cath P.S it is time to make our figures cuddly, as Sallie say, enough of hard edges and hard shadows :) I like this idea!
