Click thumbnail to view, then resize in bottom right corner of the image.

This was rendered before I changed my studio lighting setup, so forgive me if it's not all that good. 9hrs @ 800x600 Samples 17.54 of 25.

It looks good Tim, ...I'm more concerned with the compression that the image server is using. Perhaps on your end you could adjust your resolution and get a better result. I've seen this many times and it can be fixed. I'm sure at sl17 it looks quite clear at your end , ....it just looks aliased and blurry around the edges.

Did you resize the image when it opened mate? You need to click the little icon that appears in the bottom right corner of the image.

If you did, then perhaps it's down to my optimisation for uploading to the web. I don't put huge jpeg files up as they tend to slow the forums down a lot. This one is 102kb, reduced from 300kb that M~R produced.

I'll do another version for my website that isn't quite so compressed.

yeah, ...not good. need something better.

However, do you think it could be a focal length issue? The scene is correctly scaled, with the camera target set in between the two bottles.



Thanks,

Tim.

Looking very cool, i like it. Only the cap bothers me a bit, dunno why.

....I think it's because their in a strict contrast to the body design and color. I think that a simple fix would be to change the color to glossy white(or red).

I'll have a tweak and run some variation renders on the cap material. I'll also use the better studio setup. Just need more hours in the day to render everything.

Thanks

I like design of the 'bottle and its red dialectric material but the black patches at the base do not look right to me. Is the black a reflection or to do with known dialectric problems?
