This was obviously inspired by Cesar Montero! Everyone check his work out here (http://www.3d-wiz.com/forum/index.php?topic=129.0); I must give credit where it is due. I really hope you don't mind Cesar, i just saw your work and i've never done anything like this before so i had to try my luck. My main focus was realism which of course includes lighting.

1 hour total. There are no textures in the scene aside from 1 surface gradient used for the golden rings on the cup and saucer.

No lights in the scene: 1 HDR Image.
Probe @ 70% Brightness.

Rendered in FPrime: 200 Passes @ 1000 x 600 res.
Monte Carlo Radiosity: 10 bounces
Light Quality: 2.000

Please ignore the Restaurant style napkin in the background. The central focus is on the Cup and Saucer. I became lazy and didn't feel like texturing the cloth, or making it look thrown about (or shaped) and less 'static'. Maybe i'll fix it some other time... I originally posted a shot with the coffee and steam in the cup, but i failed. I removed the coffee from the image, leaving just the cup and saucer, sorry folks. It can be improved a great deal yes, but i've other projects to complete So this project is considered "Finished".

And without further Adue:

I rather like it. Well, aside from the napkin, anyway. Is the DOF 'real' or Photoshopped? How long did it take to render?

DOF was post work in Photoshop CS2.
It took quite some time to render due to my slow Computer, and 10 monte carlo bounces with a HDRI. With FPrime v1.5 though, it took a good hour to an hour and a half to get to 200 passes.

Got lazy with the napkin, but i wanted to throw something red in there for contrast. *shrugs*

Napkin still remains untouched.

The steam looks effective, hypervoxels or post?

Thanks guys.
Matt: The steam is a bit of post work in Photoshop CS2.

No textures in the scene at all.
