Hi, all

1- Top bottle it's very dark.
2- The loop of the botom bottle appear as a black color, without the shape of the loop.

I'm not a lightwave guy so this may or may not be any help, but it looks to my like maybe you don't have the ray-tracing quality for reflections and refraction turned up high enough.

Hopefully some one that uses lightwave will come along and offer some better advice.

I agree with David, check you settings and also perhaps you need some air polys to help with the refraction. It looks like it is having problems with the raised area on the bottom I don't believe you are too far from getting results like the top render.

Thanks, David & rwhunt99 for your help and advise.
And yes David, as you expected it's right, and after i turned Reflections and Refraction up high (16 samples) on Dielectric node, and Ray Recursion Limit to 24 all thing is go OK. but the bottle until now need some refine setting to get more reasonable result.
