Thanks Grendel and Brian for your further assistance.
These added tips have made an enormous difference to the quality of renders!!

I noticed that in Patrick's example and reply to yourself Brian that translucency is discussed - is there a specific recommendation for this setting and what does translucency bring to the render quality ?

I notices as well as caustics being turned on fresnel in reflection is also recommended.

Aside from specific render setting recommendations other tips are:

soft box for local reflections

background for reflections

Use a grunge map to mix reflection
values and bump values.

Many thanks.

p.s although it's a Lightwave tutorial I found this great link for setting up a bottle of Jack Daniels http://www.the123d.com/tutorial/ligh...aniels01.shtml
