Hehe - I liked Loken's tutorial, personally.... But then, that's a glass ball ^^

looking good
but i think it needs a shadow underneath it or something, or a the other shadow needs to be more solid... it just doesnt seem right

Edit: just found this quick tut on it. it should give you an idea of the basic elements of a glass ball

glass, crystal, whuss the difference! Personally I'd have duplicated the bg corner thing you have there and done something with that! :D tis a good ball, just needs a reflection! :D

i think if it was a lil trasparent and then background was dul and refracted thru it it wud look better

the egde of the ball doesn't look too realistic, just the way the light diffracts... should be different, i think. haha :)

The black's too dark btw.
