Bottle of Jack

Post by Phr0stByte » Sat Sep 15, 2007 2:08 pm

First acceptable test render for a new scene. Will texture the bottle with Jack Daniel graphics and do a glass of Jack with ice. Will do some other stuff to to make it a proper scene, but this is what I am starting with. First render with .09t7.

Thanks go out to DaveC for helping to keep Suzanne in check while she tried to hide my polys.

update with uv-mapped textures

Post by Phr0stByte » Sun Sep 16, 2007 12:19 pm

Bottle almost complete - needs a cap and mats/textures need to be tweaked here and there.

looks good, are you using SSS for the liquid?

Thanks all for your comments.

No SSS - just straight specular. Do you think some SSS might improve it?

I can't think of any use of SSS in whisky. Looks good as it is now. SSS would just dramatically increase your rendering times + it could produce some unwanted artifacts.

[edit]
Kosmo was faster :lol:

very nice render :D
I guess, there's no way, to NOT have SSS... any material will slightly scatter light around, even if just very weak :)

I will use hdri environment (EXR rather) in the final scene. I want to do a whiskey glass, some ice cubes, and maybe a barrel for the background. Of course ideas often change faster than your progress, so we will see...

CoolColJ
I will use some SSS on the plastic cap of the bottle though, I think...

Here is a small update with added glass and ice - got rid of the softbox lights and rendered with an EXR environment.

Hey, Phr0stbyte, that is some cool modeling. The whiskey still looks a little dark or too red to me. But I'm not a drinker, so don't take my word for it. I grabbed your ice material and modified it a little bit. I'll post a render in my gallery soon to show you.

Keep it up, you're learning fast :D

EDIT: Here's a link to the pic I did with my modified version of your ice material.

great progress :D
O.o black plastic needs very high absorbing and scattering values, I guess...
what a luck, that high absorption actually makes things faster (paths stop earlier) than slower :D
but the high scattering will do the other way round...
