Would like to see some steps towards the proxy. Is that all free form joining of edges, say for carafe?

Here are some of the first steps, I will make a more detailed "making of" for the next example...

Thanks very much for the notes! Gives me a good idea of what you're doing.

Glass hand looks very cool BTW. Peter

Go Cotty! The bed is great. I would love to see more of the 'making of' you were
mentioning earlier.
Cheers,

Thanks! Here are some steps of the making of the bed:

The making of the wine glass is in the .skp:

• Draw lines on picture
• Follow me with hexagon
• Subdivide with Artisan
  (The wine is a copy of the inner glass with a little scalefactor and closed top face)

why do you need subdivision to do this? can't you just followme a circle instead of exagon? or i'm missing something?

You are right, but then it would not fit in this post

(in German we would say "mit Kanonen auf Spatzen schießen", something like "shoot with cannons at sparrows"...)

Can't remember who did this, but it's very simple and easy to understand, so it should be in this great thread.

Same workflow as the wine glass, therefore only the renders...

It's so great cotty! How'd you do with the foam & bubbles?

The foam is simple diffuse material with formed mesh on top (Artisan). Headroom says that it would look more realistic with some SSS, I will try this later.
The bubble workflow is described in the Indigo Renderer forum.
