Smoking is rewarding (don’t take my words for it)

I quit smoking a while ago (some might say you never really quit, you just take breaks) and I do miss it from time to time. I am reading so many conflicting messages with this trophy of an ashtray that I don’t know what it really means and I love it. Who knows, maybe smoking will be cool again in a few decades.
p.s. I can’t find this on the product page so I am taking preik’s word and attribute it to atypyk.
p.s.s. if you didn’t know already, preik is an aggregator of many design blogs and I assume it’s an automated script.

Rendering is hard

Here’s some images of a product line I have been working on for a little while. Looks like I do need to take classes to be better at rendering products. Anyone knows a free raytrace/render program? I have tried Blender 3D with YAFRAY and I didn’t like it too much because of the interface…
