hi !

i'm currently trying to render a nice wine glass.

here's what i have so far as a rough test (SL 17.8 and going on..):


i'm using diffraction, scattering and vignetting... but what causes that ugly blur on the right glass ?

the ground surface is certainly not optimal, but the fact that those highlights are totally blurred is kinda weird to me ..

any idea ?

thx.

I thought you did it like that, and was ready to say bravo.. it happens when the wine's too cold in a warm glass...

[deadalvs]

hehe.. yes, but for that we'd need a few more sliders and the package would be called maxwell render, the nature simulator..

this is a weird artifact !

[Hervé]

it might come from the overly exposed floor.. no..? try to make the floor red.. or jetblack.. and see what happen..

[deadalvs]

it must be the floor ..

i aborted an hour ago since it didn't clear up either.

i am currently rendering a frosted wine glass like you mentioned before..

I would suggest a neutral color (gray), and low gloss for the base plane and no frost until you solve the blur issue.

[deadalvs]

okay .. here's the frosted wine ..

i'd never drink this wine !!

i'll have to check now what that blur was.
