Hi all,

just putting together a few self promotional shots and here's one of them.

This mock-up was inspired by a recent Esso ad featuring a glass engine.

The model doesn't have much detail on the base so the caustics are not accurate - just enough to show what effect could be achieved.
The top and bottom of the shot are 2 separate renders with clear glass to get the caustics and frosted glass for the top.

Cheers,

Steve

well done... but I can't imagine that the caustics are from the car because of the frost

Cheers, I know what you mean. I just wanted to give the impression that the car is even 'cleaner' on the inside due to the fuel used.

They still call Exxon Esso somewhere?

in germany its also called esso ... maybe because of the exxon valdez accident? i have no idea but here it's called like that as long as I remember.

cheers

They do in Italy, also.

Ciao, Gio

That explains a joke I heard on TV a long time ago. What do you call a person that cuts through a gas station to avoid a stoplight? An Esso Asshole.

Now, as Brian explained it with that joke, I think it's just th US that calls it Exxon. (we call it Esso, too)
But it's no wonder - who would want to buy the gas in an asshole
