very nice mate and it has that special maxwell look and feel that we all love (very photoreal)

Very nice studio setup, but i gotta ask you one thing about the material for the semitransparent lid cover thingy on those. What's your material settings for those ?! they look so good, i'm curious about your settings for them.

Do you mean the caps material?

It's a simple default dieletric material (crown of borosilicate BSC1) with roughness set to 0,3 in U and V with pure white color in the color channel.

Maybe it coulb be better with polyuretane, but it seems that the render needs more time...

The caps yep those were the one's i meant but i forgot the word for them hehe. Actually i think they're just fine the way they are now. They have that look of semi-transparent plastic which is like "milky"..

Thanks for the info about the settings you used, i appreciate it.

fantastic work!

would you mind explaining your philosophy behind the overall setup. Is there only one light and the rest are bounced lighting off the panels you've created? What about the highlight to make the rendering glossy is that a simple white panel or light?

Keep up the great work.

Hi snalbandia Thanks!

The set up for this scene is very simple, 3,5 of sky dome value (white color), one emitter in front of the objects using D65 light and another emitter with same type of light on the top of the scene that is hidden by an inclined plane 30° or something (but you can see it in the wireframe), so the second emitter is useful only to create a soft ligt on the curved plane. I hope that the explanation it's enough clear. BTW i've noticed that the best results are reached using real world measurements IMHO.

Thanks for sharing the knowledge. I hope to see more of your work in the future
