Here's a vase I have. It should also contain a plant.

This was a pretty tricky one to model actually since the spiral is "hollow" and connects to the vase... so if you pour water into the top opening it will go round the spiral and out on the bottom opening onto the table. (Not that that would be of any good use user added image

Looking cool.

With Maxwel do the rendering times go up a lot when a lot of geo's included?

Hehe, yeah It sure looks like such a devicde user added image

Rendering times doesn't get affected that much, probably about the same as other render engines.

Here's two frames and the vase placed on my new shelf that's located above the TV-set.

Thanks Coldwave user added image

Arran, I'll try to get some overview renders done.

Thanks dude!

Ok, so here's two really wide angle views. The lighting isn't very realistic - there are no roof - to speed up the render times. And the carpet material somehow got screwed up.

looks real good,
Don't know if you did it already (maybe the lighting washed it out), but i would do a bumpmap on the floor and maybe an occlusion pass, but other than that excellent user added image

thnx guys,

here's a wire and some stats... 2.1 million triangles, yeah baby yeah!

No problems for my new computer though. To see how much it can handle I duplicated some meshes so I had 7 millions triangles and then it became a little sluggish but still usable.
