Still Life: The Rings of Power

Really nice ! My advice would be to tweak the gold shader : it looks like a mix between metal and plastic currently. Try to use the Cook-Torrance shader for max (plugin donwloadable on 3dluvr).

Cool modeling!!
I agree about the textures,They look a little flat for powerful rings!!
I would add a little soft point light near by to give them some shadows.
The GI is turned up so high you can barely see the shadows.

look'n good!

I found a tutorial on creating CG jewelry that might help with your lighting. No offence, just saw it and thought of you. Good luck, they look very cool!
