I wish the model was smoother.

Something a little different [sic. shite]

EarthMover

Render engine? Render Time? Technique & Approach? These should be mandatory with every render submitted in any "Render This" challenge. If not, then you might as well take "Ucation" out of SketchUcation.

Good point Adam

Render Engine - Simlab Composer

Render Time - 1hr

Technique/Approach - Basic Studio with Titanium texture. Studio HDR and a directional light. Glass was water ior value with plastic applied to interior feathers. Tried to create a more NPR feel to it. Not to everyones taste I'd imagine but I liked the result all the same.

This is a welcome break from the normal architectural stuff!

Used Maxwell - render time about 3hrs but image was OK after about 1hr.

Bump to surface a bit overdone.

Twilight 1.4, easy Hight+ preset, Hdri lighting, 8 minutes at 800/800.
PP with ACDsee pro for contrast and border...

Rendered in Shaderlight, taking 33 minutes at 800 x 600. Setup using a simple room environment with GI and bump.

Oh man, these are looking great. I must try again soon.

..another raw octane with hdri lighting.

Another one. Kerkythea again, unbiased 100 passes, procedural clipmap for the sack. No post pro with the exception of the vignette in Photoshop.

V-Ray for SU, studio setup, 21 minutes, HDRI in background, and for illumination.

EarthMover

A quick stab at it. Vray/Max - 40 minutes at 1600x1200. Rendered with a studio setup and HDRI. Post process to color adjust, add the DOF and vignette. Also smoothed the geometry.

Tweaked

Raw Render

First crack at this one.
Arion Render - 60 mins
Set up time after sketchup was about 15 mins

I've got another one cooking at the moment with a slightly different material for the outside of the marble. I'll upload it when it's done.

Second one using Arion Render. This took about 1h 20m. I'm quite pleased with the results, would like to have put some DOF on it but I'm not sure how to do that with Arion yet.

As usual some great work.
My first contribution:
Thea /TR1(unbiased)/48 min/combination of IBL reflection mapping and physical sky at dusk/thin film

A quick try with Thea, not much time to play unfortunately.
