Nothing spectacular, just Carrara in action. Recently completed an assignment for a book cover entitled, "Clear Thinking While Drinking" for the teen/college audience. "Can we do a version of Rodin's Thinker sitting on top of a pile of beer bottles?", the client asked. No problem. Created a single bottle, shaded it, duplicated it twice and changed the shaders on the subsequent bottles. Then I simply used the Surface Replicator on a mound made in the spline modeler. P5 with M3 for the figure. Total time to create the scene and hit the render button - 40 minutes. It used to be so hard to do stuff like this... :) Mark

Good job,

Thanks for sharing that. :D

Very cool Mark!

Looks great. It's always great to see this app of us can easily produce world-class artwork. When in the right hands...

Where is the hot pint of each bottle? At the tip? Each is facing inward. If you wanted a more random placement, would you change the hop point location? Also, is collision detection on? Most of the bottles don't appear to be passing through. Nice job, gives me ideas. Thanks for posting.

"hot pint"? hehehe

Wish I was that guy : ) And look, no beer belly! Looking closer, I see the bottle stems so all are not facing in. And the surface replicator does have a distance function - my mistake.
