Glass Challenge (all render engines)

cadmunkey

Another attempt, a homage to my favourite tipple although the colour still needs tweaking..

Eulgrand

Thanks for the kind comments

My materials are :
Glass : ref. "G1" from the Basic Glasses library (Donwload section of KT's forum)
Water : ref. "H5" from the same library
For them 2, the material type is Dielectric / Glass, reflection & refraction set to color/Pure white, and IoR resp. 1.52 and 1.33

Whiskey :
Material type : Dielectric / Glass
Refraction : RGB values set to (242,153,61) and IoR 1.359
Reflection : copy/paste the refraction color and set the saturation to 20

The stirrer is a basic plastic, not too glossy (shininess 30 and IoR 1.60)

The scene is illuminated by two emitting umbrellas on each side of the camera, one little emitting square to generate caustics, and a global for more reflections on the glasses.

Now that I have my technical settings, I'll try to make a real scene like those I could see above (Connor, Ande, Andre...) with nicer glasses !

Had to have a shot at this too. (Kerkythea)

Is that really a render!!!!!!!!!!!!

If so why has no one commented on it. I think it is by far the most convencing.

Or is the joke on me

Oh yeah, I've already remarked in another vray thread where he posted it originally, my jaw still hurts after hitting the ground.

My maxwell version.
I hope that they like

Saludos.

at the moment I am on a trip ... and so these r my old versions... and soon will try new renders ( some of them belongs to 1 year ego)...SU + KT as usual frosted + dielec glass

Here is a go at it with Hypershot

i'm learning to use vray

Phil, yours looks really good overall, but the faceting on the optical glass lenses is a bit strong. It also appears in a lighter version on the cup I think - in the far inside wall it looks like it might be showing some very small facets. Perhaps the render engine did not recognize SU's smoothing? The cup is very minor, and maybe non-existant. The glasses are rather pronounced though. Otherwise its really really great!

i think that's a matter of using a low res hdri image.. the glasses are smooth but they're reflecting the highly pixelated background.

Phil Rader AIA

Jeff I think you are right the HDR is very low res and creates the faceted reflection on the glasses. The Glass is from the 3d warehouse and could possible use more smoothing. Maybe Subdivide and smooth. The facets at the base of the glass are also not rendering as good as they could but heck for 10 minutes of playing arround and letting it render overnight while I was asleep it turned out OK.

majid

this is for a while ago, but not too bad

GdBTM

wow!

majid

thanx for WOWs i became
this is fresh one... cooked over last night using KT as usual...i made a mistake , so there is no light at shadow part...

Eulgrand

Majid,

If that one was "not too bad", I'd like to see what "good" looks like !!!

Looking forward to seing the last one's update, with nice caustics.

Great, great job
