Glass Challenge (all render engines)

Here is a go at it with Hypershot

GdBTM

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.

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.
