JavierP Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Hi guys, Just wanted to share a render of a little test I was working on. It started out as an attempt at a glass of coke, but turned out more like a glass of dark beer . No secrets, just native materials .

D.Joseph Design Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Nice! Looks pretty good! Adding some bubbles to the inside would make it look more like a carbonated drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hart Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 mmmmh... yummy. It, literally, makes my mouth water. I can almost smell it. I'm licking the screen and I swear, I can taste it. To be 100% honest; it doesn't taste very good. Sort of like dust and fingerprints. Seriously, it looks great. Mike Hart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zacktaich Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 You always have such beautiful renders. What's your secret? Something about the lighting, reflections, and colors always seems just right. Beautiful stuff, even if it is a failed experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JavierP Posted February 29, 2004 Author Share Posted February 29, 2004 You always have such beautiful renders. What's your secret? Something about the lighting, reflections, and colors always seems just right. Beautiful stuff, even if it is a failed experiment. Thanks. You know, there really isn't a secret per se. The only advice I can offer you is: to pay attention to those things (ie. lighting, reflections, and colors ) as well as shape, texture, motion etc. If you make a deliberate effort to control the quality of these elements, you will invarialbly end up with a successful image/animation. An example that comes to mind is: all too often I see people making renders using the color chips provided by default in AM. I ALWAYS spend my time creating custom colors to find the exact value and color I need for my images, and I NEVER EVER use 'default' lighting. You should ALWAYS spend time choosing colors and a lighting setup that will complement your particular model, and one setup is never going to satisfy this requirement for all models. Another way to sum it up would be to say, never settle for what is given to you by default, strive to make the images your own, and the rest will follow.

zacktaich Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 I think I feel a tear coming to my eye with that sage like advice. How many lights were used for this scene? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
