nice cup, missing some bump (displace) on the table cloth...
The "suger" looks awful to be honest..to square and it needs some transluency or something..

Hey, just a thought... but u could try using Vrays "displacement Mod" (modifier) using the table cloth texture for the modifier and the difuse on the material.
U could probably also use it for the sugar cube.

Very good renderings though!!

ehm ... the sugar looks like a cement-brick, i think it must be more white
and it's color a bit more independent.
sugar must be like snow - not translucent, but sparkling and glowing, due
to the reflection and refraction of the light from the millions of crystals
placed under different angles.
and it must be more, hm, crispy? try perhaps more bump with
self-illumination to avoid the deep shadows, just a suggestion.
and the form of the lump must be more ... lumpy perhaps a bit more
rounded edges, and ... you know, you could forget about the bump and
instead use particles to cover the block with crystals, it's an interesting
idea actually, i'll try it tonight
perhaps a bit complex solution, but the look is too close to lure the eye with bump, i don't know.

everything else looks really great, i just adore the porcelain
but more bump will give the cloth a feeling of realism ...

Good week for Vraypeople
