Bottle of Wine - - Yum

I haven't posted anything new because I haven't really had the chance to use Maya the last few months.

My nephew designed a Wine bottle label for a client and he wanted to see what it looked like, so I modelled it for him. Here it is.

Cheers
Paul

Hello,

I agree with MattTheMan about it looking,on the whole, a bit dark but I suppose that if you are just showing off the label then it's just right. Nice work,

Mat.

Thanks for the CC guys, much appreciated. The funny thing is I agree with you 100%. I started with Software Renders until he was happy with the Label location etc He wanted the bottle floating so he could cut it out if required.

Now the best part, I didn't consider the render tweaked enough, but he was happy with it and told me I didn't need to do anything else. Cool hey . . wouldn't we all love customers like that user added image

Very realistic looking!:attn: Top notch Job! Might want to lighten up the background so you can see the bottle better though.

You guys should get into the challenge as it'll be great fun!
I found reference stuff on transformers, mechs, titans etc good to get ideas on the bot element of the transformation.

Good luck if you enter :p
