      Having been a professional photographer in a former life, I tend to think in terms of studio lighting for renders so Massimo's suggestions make a lot of sense to me. Still, I much prefer the sketchy stuff I normally do.

        Model the tabletop surface instead of using a bump map. Also light from the top left rear (shadow cast forward) and set up a reflector off camera to bounce light back into the resulting dark front of the box.

        Trust me. πŸ˜„

          Here is a quick go with Photoshop and Dave's rendering. Posted with his permission of course.

            That is pretty close to what I had in mind. Nice word to the Dave/Eric team.

              Well, I'm getting closer. I changed the style of the box back closer to the original. I still need to work on the materials a bit but I think it is getting better. Thanks to all for the suggestions.

                So that means I've taken a step or two back?

                  That would depend on which way you were facing in the first place.

                    Totally unconvincing render Dave. And where did you get that woodgrain material, awful!
