Now you're talking. Brilliant pic.

All of the pics are great except..,

the texture on the table makes the cans look like miniatures. And the light behind the cans is brighter than the cans themselves. That is probably why you don't like it as much. And, as someone already said, a bit too much DOF. Excellent cans.

A tutorial!? God forbid. I modelled this all by myself. And to top it off, by accident. I subsurfed an icosphere two levels and applied the subsurf, and then I noticed a pattern of hexagons and pentagons in the mesh. The bump map is from a photograph of a colleagues leather handbag :D Do you have a ...

Since radiance posted his tutorial I've been having great fun modelling in blender and rendering in indigo. Great fun. And yesterday, I modelled a football. An old fashioned, leather style, English football. It made me need to make a leather bump map :D http://www.bloopdiary.plus.com/dave/Football%2...

It's quick and dirty. The lens is the emitter. Although, I did try the bulb reflecting off of a mirror through the lens route, but I can't get the mirror material right to reflect the light. I will definitely keep trying though.

Thanks for the question.

I wanted to let this render for as long as my patience would hold out, but my electric went after less than a day and cut the render short. I really wanted to see the caustic develop. Anyway, it's just a crudely modelled bottle filling up with water with a small torch shining through it. http://www....

Good idea I'll get right on it.

No can do, psor. It's the coaster I always put my mug on Thanks for the welcome

I have to admit, this is not my first render with Indigo. It's also not the first time I've used this model. But, it's the first time I've used this model in Indigo since Radiance put his Blender to Indigo tutorial. I couldn't have done this without it. Thanks, Radiance :D. http://www.bloopdiary.plu...

The ripples in the pool are too large. Apart from that, it pleases lots

That is a fine piece of work
