      Thanks guys!

      Yes L i am, I did render it. But I like Cotty's much better!

      My render was too black through the sides. I used Render_nXt, with their "Thick Glass" preset.

      Cotty, what did you render it in? Do you think that that preset had the caustics too high?

      L i am, I did it by making all those little facets and scaling the heck out of them with the native scale tool, Fredoscales Box Tapering, curviloft, hand stiching, lots of rotating and lots and lots of erasing and redoing! πŸ˜„

      Smart drop got me the bottom, but not without issues. I do wish there was a plugin like Chris Fulmers Shape bender that created concave and convex group/components.

      Mostly it just took a lot of time, and I was fairly determined to see if I could do it!

      Thanks again for the kudos!

      Chris

        I've rendered it with Indigo as a standard glass material and an EXR as the environmental lighting.

              Cotty, thanks for responding, I'll look into Indigo more thoroughly!

              Solo, that's almost exactly how it looks sitting on my kitchen table!
              I'm flattered that you took the time to render it. I've seen a lot of your work over the years. Thanks for showing me what it could look like.

              I know because of you experience rendering, you could probably get nearly the same results in many renderers. But out of curiosity, not that I could afford it, what are you using?

              Chris

                Thank you for the distraction, have not played in a while.
                I used Thea Render, a fast 5 minutes Presto render.

                  For future reference, Shapebender will bend a bunch of components/groups as long as they are nested in another Group/component.

                    Solo,

                    LOL, I let mine grind for hours. And it ain't all that slow! Six core running at 3.7.

                    Box,

                    Do you mean to tell me that if I'd have bent it on the red axis, then re-bent it (after switching my axis 90 degrees) I could have done it that way? Please show me. But, that's sure a doh moment if that actually works! (and where the heck where you when I asked about that in my first post?)

                    Chris

                    Box, this was what I was going for. I wish shape bender could have done it!

                      Never mind solo, I just realized I was rendering an entire model, just not the fruit bowl and a floor.

                      But thanks!

                      Chris

                          Here's a rough version using shapebender just as you describe.
                          It starts off as a group of components but ends up as one component.
                          It may not be as clean as you want, you'll notice some of the faces are split to allow the bend, but it is very quick.

                          You could also use Fredo's Radial Bend, part of Fredoscale.

                            Thanks for the example Box,

                            It never occurred to me to bend the bottom twice!

                            Because I sure would have! Oh well, I learned about "Smart Drop" anyaway!
