Could you render at a higher resolution next time? Otherwise, looks good.

Ooo. I wish I remembered enough of my 3D training to offer constructive criticisms.

I dreamt that my mom had died, but i woke up reassuring myself that she was okay, only to have my little brother call me an hour later and tell me she was in the hospital. scary as hell, ya know?

Caustics may hate you, but we like you!

The pic is really good. I wasn't sure if it was a photo or 3d art at first. I really like the refraction in the glass.

You could try this free generator and use the image generated to help the caustics in Maya.

have you ever tried Vray?
I think it's the best way to produce beautiful 3D images ..



you are truli a "Deviant of Many Talents"!! ^^

Aaaah, Mental Ray... Yeah, you have fun with that
Still, it's a nice piece. The shadow is translucent and properly colored, the wine warps the objects behind it... Lookin' good!

JessicaDru In reply to Bensaret [2007-12-02 00:14:25 +0000 UTC]

I set the refraction number by a scientific chart. so the wine and the glass distort light differently.

oooOoooo

I've only ever used 3dstudio max haha Maya always seemed like it was more work than it was worth...well for someone that doesn't know much about 3d

JessicaDru In reply to spoofnix [2007-12-02 00:13:53 +0000 UTC]

3dStudio max is cool, but maya is powerful! it's just complicated, open ended, and needs a lot of effort to get something worthwhile.
