Yes, MN, that was a Blender render, using Cycles.

This is a Blender Cycles render, using the GPU:

I modelled the items based on instructions given in this tutorial:

http://cg.tutsplus.com/tutorials/blender/create-and-render-a-still-life-scene-in-blender-using-cycles/

The tutorial served to emphasise why I prefer PDFs to videos: it was easy to follow / study. I like to ponder concepts. Can't do that with a video.

Cycles does suffer from 'fireflies' when rendering 'glossy' items  - I've edited them out in this render.
