Creating a Drinking Glass

garystan

Hi everybody :

          Hopefully, this is the right place for this.
          My question is......how do I create a drinking glass, with the appearance of having liquid in the glass ?   The picture shows the method I use to create the glass.  Of course, the "shape" shown is a simplified example.

                                                                      garystan

of course the use of material settings or presets within your used renderer, such as glass, solid glass or liquid play major role for this task ...

BTW - your shown sketch is the right start than add an other rotated geometry for the liquid inside the glass...

@garystan, I invite you to look at this thread: Challenge

In particular, look at the document posted by Pilou in the 2nd post in the thread. I think you will find it is an excellent explanation of what you are trying to accomplish.
