Beautiful!

This is the kind of thing that needs to be in Vray Gallery!

Wow mind-blowing images... So the only thing missing out of his tutorials is the bump map? Beyond that, it's really simple...

Hey! Just realized that this would be the perfect use for all of those badly
triangulated models we all have....3D cafe lives!

[Da_elf]

3d cafe ice sculptures? hehe

[olitech]

yes! a 3D cafe ice sculpture competition...good idea!

FYI the cgtalk thread has been updated, and he has now posted his bump map 5th page I think.
