... and we're all a Year Older, sorry, you didn't know you were waiting! ...About a year ago, I made some of the models from an old woodcut in the excellent little book "Colors: The Story of Dyes and Pigments". Last week with Carrara made the retort, and started rendering. Every day another one until today I said enuf! [It takes about 16 hrs at 1600x1200 on my new machine. What delicious irony, a faster machine actually lets me use more glass and such, then takes even longer to finish!]

cool medelling and a fun image. wonderful details as always. I know what you mean about the faster the CPU the longer the render time! (grin)

LOL!! Well the new machine might take u longer to create ure images but there always well worth the wait imho. I love this one, just as I love all ure art, but this one's got such great depth and such warmth from the lighting effects. Quite fascinating and beautiful. Carpe Noctem.

I know what you mean, Jim! Since I have my New One, I use (at last!) some materials and/or effects I didn't dare to use before, thus my rendertimes are more or less the same, if not longer! :) ___ As usual, incredibly balanced composition even in a setting so apparently jubmled: you have a talent for showing everything in details without forgetting to fascinate the "eye of the beholder".
ShadowWind
You amaze me with your sense of lighting and composition. This image is no exception, not only great detail, which is also a hallmark of your work, but magical as well. I know the feeling well of the longer renders because you throw in more stuff. Been there, done that :)

My God, if I didn't know better I'd think tis was a screen capture from the game MYST or one of it's sequels. You have done an absolutely beautiful piece here, and by the way, good work takes time don't worry about the slowness of the computer

Actually, I'm loving the wood textures! The details in the planks are mighty fine! Great concept too!

Aahh, this must be the new strange Champagne brand, that circulates here in Sweden. Havent tasted it yet though... Love the composition pal! That glass bulb is awesome and naturally, the lighting is flawless! The textures...fire...mumble...
