A small Glass Series

[HornOxx]

Hi Everyone
Sometimes a small geometry exercise develops a life of it´s own. I suppose you all know that?

I wanted to model that simple geometry of a glass, which almost everyone has in his glass cabinet
as I guess - below octagonal and round above. That alone took me at least ten attempts.
After it was finally done, I somehow had to make an immediate test rendering of course! And because
an empty glass is boring, I considered, with which I can fill in this empty glass, and so on ...

Thus, my guessed small exercise developed up to a mammoth undertaking
But after the results seem, however reasonable, I decided to show them here.

Especially on two of them I would like to point with a few "making of" infos.

The "Latte Macchiato" version was the easiest thing. Because I was too lazy to model the
milk foam, I put a 2D image into the glass. The rendering became fantastic "out of the box",
at least for my desired view of course.

The "M & M's" version was a bit more difficult. Again I was too lazy to put every single
M & M into the glass. So I decided to use SketchyPhysics. The 252 pieces of chocolate brought
my computer almost to a crash but after a few attempts and a lot of patience, it finally worked.
For getting the pieces of chocolate into the glass properly, I had to remodel the inner shape of the
glass with SkPhy solids. In there I let fall the M & Ms.

if anyone is interested or may need it

Great looking renders. And thanks for sharing the model.
