I wonder if some of the difference is because I didn't use an inverse-square falloff light. I didn't feel like spending the time to set one up.
Notice how the point closest to the light is a litte brighter in the photo than my rendered cylinder. I estimate the light was about 50 inches from the cylinder. Given the radius of the can is about 2.5 inches, that would put the terminator at 52.5 inches versus 50 inches for the right edge. The inverse square rule applied would result in about 10% more light at the closest point versus the terminator. That would certainly be noticed.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
