Hey guys.

For those of you who don't remember - I was the one who modeled the whiskey glass & ice cubes, and I'm quite honored that you all use it for your renders.

I'm not quite familiar with the rendering program/plugin you're using, but in the I rendered it with FryRender.

Thanks for creating the model for us, and the initial rendering. I'm sure you noticed that I added a comment to the model that it was being used for this Rendering Workshop.

No particular rendering engine is featured in these workshops, but rather users of all rendering products are encouraged to demonstrate and improve their rendering skills through interaction with other users.

Thank you for your comments on how you produced your renderings.

For the record, here is tomer1981 rendering of the whiskey glass:

One more for the road.
A small note on the model; you need to cut holes in the surface of the whiskey where the icecubes are, if you are using an physically accurate engine.
On the other hand this is actually a situation that render engines(atleast Maxwell) can´t get physically right. When light first enters from air to ice and then into whiskey, that ray of light will think it is in air, as it passed thru the backface of ice (not thru the frontface of whiskey). Still, the difference is probably very hard to see...

I started a new Workshop on Wood Cabinets.

These aren't as much fun as a Whiskey glass. But it might be worth honing your wood surfaces skills a bit...

Late as always - only just finished the bottle

My recent attempt

Another late one this time with octane, just as I open another bottle

I know - Wood texture probably not large enough, glass appears to be floating, and ice appears too silver? - but I'm looking through rose tinted specs, and I like it

Like I said. . .i am no judge of distilled beverages, but those look nice.

Richard, I like the first one (above the Octane one), what render app did you use?

Hi Pete
IRender nXt, just honing my skills for the rendering competition, don't get much chance to render or model this time of year as most of my projects open in the next couple of weeks

FYI to you lot rendering these ice cubes: if you render with VfSU you could submit it to the current ASGVis Render competition. The topic is ice: http://forum.asgvis.com/index.php?topic=7520.0

Hi,

With Fryrender can even beginners achieve respectable results.
