Cycles!

So this is not new technology but it has been something that I have been reluctant to try due to it's complexity and node system that looks like a road map of wires, input, output boxes, slider adjustment tabs, and just a vast amount of options that scared the hell out of me. So I recently decided to give it a try and have found it to not be as complex as I had thought it to be....it is still a daunting task to accomplish however, I am definitely excited to learn to use it......soooooo here is my first test render with it and even with how simple this scene is, the lighting and reflections are amazing and seem accurate to the real world! enjoy!!!
