Description
I haven't had much inspiration lately, and was feeling a bit despondent about my last renders. Yesterday lunchtime I was sat at my desk at work, and I noticed that the ice in a beaker of drink that I'd left overnight had melted, and there was a nice refraction effect on the straw.
"I wonder if C4D would handle a refraction like that," I thought to myself. "It would be simple to draw, and would get me back into some rendering."
This was just the inspiration I needed - I tried it, and the refraction on the straw worked perfectly!
This one took about an hour to draw and set up, and 3 mins to render on my lovely new P4 2.4Ghz system.
