Looks pretty damn good for a first image if you ask me.. maybe the glass surface is a little too reflective imho.

keep up the good work

cheers!

agreed, glass is a b*tch to get really good, you did a very good job on it though

Once again cheers for the comments. Alan

Try surfing over to Phil's site at www.liquid-arts.de and look at his Jack Daniels tutorial (under 'Techniques'). This should give you a really good heads up on modelling glass surfaces.

He man,

GREAT looking render. Coincidently I am having a go at a cologne bottle too. Different brand though. Since this is my first go at a real looking object I was wondering. Did you use Real or Fast fresnel?

Cheers,
Oldenburg.

Hi Oldenburg,

Thanks for your comments, I,ve not got the scene anymore
just put together a shuttle system and the scene file amongst
other things did,nt get saved.
But what I can remember the surface had a gradient on
the ref channel maybe the dif and spec and also played
with refractive index.

Cheers Ribbons
