Some practice renders. The image is from a Carthusia parfum bottle, ... I scanned it, ...greyscaled and displaced the geometry.

For those with the keen eye, ... I'll save you the trouble and mention that I know that some parts of the displacement are away from the bottle. A little impatience on my part ...and I just let it slide.

Man, that looks great Chris!! did you use heightfield from image in Rhino?

I'm guessing Zsurf?

That is really cool! Did you sporph it or splop it?

[ivox3]

u.biq .... All true and it depresses me.

I'll be updating those images. Thanks for the CC.

Nico: ...now you know that the _heightfield command doesn't work. It is the Zsurf plug-in, ...which works beautifully. Lightning fast and an easy import. PM for details if you desire.

Frances: No sporph or splop, ... just an easy bend in the right viewport and 'eyed' it up to the curvature of the bottle, ...hence the parts that aren't tangent. ....lazy.

Looks like kiln-fired enamel.........nice
The sharp fall-off to black is cool also.......like a 70's add in Cosmo.

Very nice work indeed, Chris.

Frances | Nico | Stuart | Sandy --- Thanks thanks.

Stuart : .. yeah, .. that was more or less the idea, ..kiln fired enamel. I'd like to also do a nice cracked porcelain with a worn gold leaf on the embossment. ...it's in the oven.



Sandy: ...where'd you get that?


Edit: Stuart, ... Yes, ..the falloff thing --- very retro. The best thing about it is the quick rendertime associated with it. Love that.

ivox, i think the model itself is good. However the render is too simple detracting a lot from it. Imo some kind of composition or a setting will complement well to it.

Greaaat! ivox, Zsurf rocks!

[glypticmax]

Nice.
I think the complex, colorful motif begs for the noir setting. If I was selling that product, I'd want all eyes on *it* not the background.

About Rhino, didn't they kill the spliff, splout and splorp operations?
Or maybe not kill, but rename just to confuse us more? I miss Road Kill.
Sorry for the hijack.

Nice work, Chris. But no stopper?

[ivox3]

hey Dmitry, ... Thanks for the comment, ..I can appreciate it. I think the natural progression is to do just that and drop it in a nicely composed scene, ..if not just for comparison. Let me know what you think when I get that together .....

Iker: ..thx bro. It does!

Larry: Hijacks don't bother me ..... and I think they did rename those commands. I'll have to check ...

btw: I never used road kill, ... what did that do? some type of make 2D command or something?

[Tim Ellis]

Nice so far Chris.

How's about some fine cracks and fissures and a little imperfection in the surface?

Forgive me if it's a brand new plastic bottle and not a ceramic as I'm thinking, I've never seen one of these before.


Tim.

[ivox3]

Thanks Tim,

I think you mean porcelain as opposed to ceramic. Siimilar in fabrication but different in terms of materials. I guess this one was more or less a simple ceramic style material, ... but I'd really like to do a glass-like porcelain with fine cracks and such. ....still looking for the perfect map for the cracks.

I knew that Image, but again, bravissimo on the displaced Geom...etry..

... but an Ivox Render..? why not Ivox3 Render..

maybe try it with an mxi in background...
