The water is just a dielectric material.

1 - the table in the foreground looks too reflective.
2 - the jagged edge of the awning kind of looks odd - too big and uneven.
3 - why is there a dumpster next to a dining area? - eugh
4 - the liquid in the glass looks odd - it seems to be dipping in the middle...
5 - last, why is there a pen in the glass?

Oh, the dumpster was just there for showing off, I'm not gonna keep it there. At some point I would batch render so the camera would go around the back of the cafe. I haven't modeled the back of the cafe yet, so I just threw it out front. Those jagged edges were more of the same really- just placeholders for later. I'm really gonna put one of those triangular shaped ones, because there'll be less of a pain to map out. And, the table thing I guess I could fix.Originally posted by arran
looks good so far, but a few things are bothering me..
1 - the table in the foreground looks too reflective.
2 - the jagged edge of the awning kind of looks odd - too big and uneven.
3 - why is there a dumpster next to a dining area? - eugh
4 - the liquid in the glass looks odd - it seems to be dipping in the middle...
5 - last, why is there a pen in the glass?
I threw a pen in the water cuz I thought it'd be more spontaneous than a straw, but if its too odd, then I'll change that too. In the earlier posts, I messed up the meniscus of the liquid but I fixed it in the later posts though it's hard to see. Thanx for the crits.

The Pen in water it's self looks pretty good, thought the glass texture isn't quite there, but i can't pin exactly what it is thats letting it down.
Other than that, the layout seems pretty good, and modeling is not too shabby either
