Thanks for the great suggestions. Several artists ask about bump maps. Believe it or not there are bump maps on every single object in the pic. With a size reduction to 800 x 600, a little detail was lost. Here is a link to the 1024 x 768 version in the gallery (I think it makes a good desktop pic). I think the textures on the plywood look pretty much like the surface of rough unfinished plywood, at least the way I remember it, but my memory isn't as accurate as it used to be, so... There is a Brycean 5 dof blur, a subtle one, perhaps, but look at the back, and you can see the blur. Maybe this is also feeding the comments about blurriness of some textures. Well, a very wise person known only as "hewsan" once told me, "all work is a work in progress till you tire of it." Truer words were never written. But there's a good chance I'll return to this image to tweak on it some more, I do that a lot. And I'm saving this thread so that when I do I'll have some good suggestions for improvement. Thanks all! Oh, I almost forgot about Eyebis (the Gremlin). I'm glad so many people like him (it?). I've been drawing Eyebis since grammar school (you see, I've always been like this). His first 3D incarnation was on the Amiga with a program called Imagine. The latest one is 100% Bryce5 with metaballs, spheres and cones. I like him so much I use him as a sort of mascot on my thumbnails in the gallery.

This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.
