Why do these take so long you ask. If you look at a drinking glass it has a thickness. I shell the drinking glasses to give it a more realistic look. That is what takes a such a long time to render.

Rendering them at 1024x768 doesn't help.

The rendering times may be long but the result is breathtaking.
As long as you don't need a whole range of images rendered it's well worth the time  :)

they're all cool, but i actually like the greyscale pic best out of the three, even if it is a bit 'simpler'.  the B&W looks quite classy.
