Simple texturing and I really wish I could have gotten the sand to look a little better, but my main concern was the glass itself. Wings 3D did a spectacular job at modeling it (out of a simple sphere gagged at the middle then smoothed till death), and the way the glass bends inside itself for the gag, in my opinion, is pretty good. So it's a WIP, I need your opinions in general on what I should improve. I'm thinking of keeping the simplistic look. drac

I think the look is quite good too.

Pass no temptation lightly by, for one never knows when it may pass again!

Looks good, but maybe clear glass?

Yes, colorless glass. And maybe it's a cliche by now, but the stand on hourglasses are usually made of wood.
