Description
Just a render of some of my old free-stuff offerings created as spline objects in C1.1. Playing with GI settings, and liked the results... rendered in C3.

TOTALLY ROCKIN! I love the wood texture too BTW.
This one took about 90 minutes to render with sky light, indirect light and caustics. The lighting quality was set to "excellent" and AA was "best" at 0.5 pixels for objects and 1 pixel for shadows. Photon count was bumped up to around 100,000 for both caustics and GI. And last, but not least, max. ray depth was at 25. Wood texture is off of the C3 content CD... and tweaked a bit...
Love the reflections!
Remarkable glassware ;) The refractions are great, there should be more reflections though... i mean the glasses are not reflecting on each other to my sight. And, the base of the closer glass shows some faceting that might be eliminated increasing the sides number. Light and texture are impressive!
Very good job !
new render using ayodejiosokoya's suggestions can be seen at http://members.cox.net/fwtempest/Assets/GlasswareGItest.jpg Thanks for the suggestions, and render time was down to 10 minutes... but you get what you wait for. I think I did better with my settings... besides, as an old Brycer, I'm used to waiting a bit for a render.
Ugh, yeah that does look quite bad in comparison! Your settings look much better.
Very nice image. great work
I'm sure its the ray depth which is key... I lowered the photon count on both caustics and GI to around 50,000... render time went down to 30 minutes and this is the result...http://members.cox.net/fwtempest/Assets/GlasswareGItest2.jpg Still need to play with settings...
Who needs Carrara 4 Pro for the blurry rendering?
Think of upgrading to Carrara Pro 4 as just buying a few new plugins for your Carrara 3. It is worth getting for the special price right now.
great work. for the blurry reflections there is a plugin you cant get at lost horizon, it works with carrara 2 and 3.
Beautiful, I love the reflection in the one on the far right, I can almost see a whole other world in it. Oh I'm noticing the other's reflections are just as intriging also. If you want to make me go crazy with desire create some glass ornaments! I love shiny baubles.
You did a great job on this.
