Nice raytrace! I like the curl on the sheet music. Not a trumpet player but appreciate what you've done here. Helps that I spent a lot of hours rendering my son's trumpet with PovRay - http://www.community.webshots.com/user/rajahh (in the PovRay Gallery). My mouthpiece looked amazingly like yours. Let me know if you want to include any of my pictures in your collection.

Excellent detail on the mouthpieces and music. Typically whenever I've seen artwork done on music the artist never seems to go into any history of the musical notes, with the effect of showing notes that don't exist. ie a half note with a tail. This picture definitly has a realistic view. I do like it and I'm a horn player.

It looks like real music because it is. I played this for a solo while in high school.

IT LOOKS REAL...I LIKE IT

-JAMES MILAR

Yup, I dig it. I play trumpet too. I especially like the Vincent Bach etching on the side of the mouthpiece. Very realistic.

MINE IS GROSSER

-MR. ABE

I am a member of the texas college all state band as a trumpet player. This picture comes very close to dipciting my life.

Very Detailed...I like it!

I LOVE IT, BRINGS BACK GREAT MEMORIES.
THANKS

Well done! As a music teacher this is sure to go on my desktop

Incredibly realistic
I play tuba and i can hardly tell that it isn't a real photo

my friend is an excellent trumpet player so i think ill send this to him

and by the way i play trombone and would love to find some pics of them

This is great! Would you do a cello now??

For some reason I missed this one until now. Excellent trompe l'oeil!

09.NOV.03: I agree with Samatar below -- you should place this in the contest.

Very good,i like it.

It looks very real (and the mouthpeices look extremely realistic), until you notice the big grey/purple empty space that's beyond the table. I'm a trumpet player too, btw :P

Very impressive. The sheet music is a really nice realistic touch.

I was going to suggest you enter this in the competition... but the judges could be biased I guess...

I really like it! I'm no trumpet player (flute & piano's for me)... but I really, really like it! I love the details and the set up you put it in.

I like it because I used to play trumpet
The details are good!

yea i agree with g8way, too bad of that grey background behind the table, maybe you cut put some grass or something behind it? I would have liked it more if it was a photo, but still very nice though

oooo very nice pic, i wish my mouth piece were that shiny. :P good job!

Nice score, especially for people who like to blow their own horn (just kidding). Really well done and extremely realistic. Excellent for music students. Thanks.

Wh´is the trumpet <;-)

not real

Wow! I really like that!

lol i play trumpet too. look very realistic

any chance of the same exact thing with trombone mouthpieces?

WoW! so realistic I had to check if I was in the right galllery!!!!!!!

lol i can read the notes this is amazing i love it!!

I'm not a trumpet player, but think you are talented and this is a crisp, nicely done piece!

sorry trombone player... *cowers in corner*, was this done in the text based editor or did you use a gui?

I used Moray, a modeling program for POVray.

Excellent render...without these, brass instruments just make unusual paperweights (LOL)...Nice job...

Great picture here, the only thing I would of tweeked is the lighting, to me this picture looks a little flat.
Overall great job on the mouthpieces to make them looked aged.

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
