Thought I would share my own 3d renders -warning not 56k safe-

Very nice eye candy, but they do have that "computer look" to most of them.

You know, ultra perfect lines, very clean and sterile, overlayed. Not knocking your efforts, just saying that with some tweaking you could have stuff which could not be distinguised from real life. Except for the fact some of those images could not exist in nature.

Example, the green glass. The straw is bent, but is not a "bendy". The shadow is very sharp and green. - not realistic. The background is just bland and lacks depth. Again, not nit-picking because any one of these elements would make for a nice image. But when incomplete, that is when you get that computer look.

That was fine in the early days of computer graphics because objects seem to defy time, gravity, and space. That was the fun of it. But today, it is all about not being discernably fake to the human eye.
