I need some advice guys. I was recently hired at a firm that does high end restaurants and bars. Needless to say wine bottles and liquor bottles are everywhere. So here is my question. I need advice for texturing bottles in a way that looks convincing but renders fast. (I never render with caustics due to the high SL needed to get decent results.) I have started to texture the bottles with the AGS glass texture. It looks ok, but it can't hold a candle to the high grade glass material. If I’m not rendering with caustics does it matter which glass I use as far as render time/noise? Also these wine bottles will be back lit as well as bottom lit so emitters will be very close to these bottles. And I was also wondering about liquids inside of the bottles. For bottles far away I don’t really think I would need it but my hero bottles will defiantly need it, any advice in regards to that? So any advice you guys have would be very much appreciated. Here are some examples of what I’m up against. As well as a test rendering of the bottles with the AGS material.
