This is so cool, I really like this. I like the scroll work on the holder that is holding the sphere. Sharen PS: your light is placed just right too.

Awesome...I love it Mike! If this is just the beginning I can't wait to see what you have in store for this month's theme :)

Thanks John, thanks Marvilla! I had alot of fun withy this little, simple model, which I made with Rhino. Particularly once I got it into Vue. :) I'm working on a couple of other, more complex things, as well, for the cahllenge, and after this challenge is past, I'll put the objects in Free Stuff as .vob with materials and .obj, for other programs.

Good job on the modeling, Mike! I like the render too! Rich

lovely model Mike, are you gonna feature it strongly in your challenge entry, or is it just gonna 'be there'. Personally I think it ought to be the focus, but then again until you model something else.........

This looks great Mike, quite photorealistic. I love it. It's very hard to get this "thick crystal" effect in Vue, I know:-) Guitta

Thanks some more. :) Yeah Jilly, probably gonna be an important part of it. And you're right Guitta, the crystal effect was very difficult, mostly because it wanted to keep reflecting the lights, and you know that a Vue point light reflected in something, is not a pretty sight. ;)

Very nice work, Mike! Not only does the model look really good, but this image could stand on its own, too! :D
