This image is one of a series of 'rocket & space' themed holiday cards I have created. The 'rocket' part should be obvious to the casual observer, and 'space' is represented by the Earth globe 'olive'.

This was an exercise in rendering the way light looks when it passes through glass. The 'mental ray' renderer was used in 3ds max, which provides features for simulating 'caustics', or the irregular refractions through the martini glass.

Another view of the Earth globe 'olive' and rocket 'toothpick' can be seen here.
