Finished Wine glass (my first render)
This is my first real attempt at rendering/texturing and lighting and after a long slog im pretty happy. You may have seen my previous attmepts in WIP! I tried to use the I_glass shader but could not get it to work on my mac so I just used basic materials.
Anyone with any points on how to get the liquid looking right and also so that it refracts down the stem and onto teh table like it should?
Thanks so much to everyone who helped me in my other thread truely was a god send and you all make this a great site!
all points crits welcome (tho be kind im very new haha)
cheers

I think changing the backgorund form the checker pattern would show off the glasses better.
What setting did you use in the end?

I have a problem when creating environments in that I find it hard to create suitable lighting that successfully shows all aspects of my models and it was almost by sheer chance that this checkered environment and a point light turned out pretty well. Any body got some tips on environments and lighting?

Hae a look into rendering with HDR mapes, you get a good environment as well as some nice lighting

If you want some HDR images theres a free site that had a good collection to get you going. not too sure of the name of it so a google should help you out.
