DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


The images have been rendered by my Monte-Carlo renderer that used a
modified Metropolis Light Transport algorithm. The rendered scenes include
different metallic (gold, steel) and plastic objects illuminated by large
studio light sources. The materials properties are represented by a coupled
Cook-Torrance like BRDF model equipped with importance sampling.
