Still: Soda Bottles

[IZZE]

I have been working on this still for about a week now. I have been staring at it way to long, and was hoping i could get some crit on it. I was hoping everyone could point out what looks off to them. This was my first try at bubbles within the soda. I plan to redo the table so it fits the environment, and im still working on modeling the bottle caps. I have hosted two shots post photoshop/low res, as well as the origional hi res versions. I have just read the rules and will post a wireframe when I get home.... If you want any closer shots, just ask.

It might be a trick of the light, but in the second image, the bottom of the bottle doesn't seem to be parallel to the table.
Does anyone else see this?

I absolutly love the look of the glass reflecting the light. Wonderful.

that is some good stuff
only thing that stands out to me is the red
liquid it looks to bright or maybe not but
it still looks good

Very nice!

Only comment would be that it looks like the caps wouldn't fit on the bottle... could be me though... ;)

Yep, nice image - very cool looking glass.

I also think the bottle doesn't look as if it's touching the table in the second image.

Care to share your glass settings? That does look very realistic.

renderingfarmer: I agree completely. I think the reflection of the table makes it look off. I think it kind of looks like its floating as well. I tried moving the bottle a little below the table surface, but alas, no luck.

adrian: Here you go.

Hi Izze

Nice piece of work and quite effective texturing,

One thought however !, is the fluid inside the bottle creeping up the side of the inner surface, Iam not sure as to the true dynamics of the situation but surface tension does have an effect on fluid inside bottles take a look at water inside a clear bottle if you observe carefully you should see good ol' surface tension doing its thang.

Keep up the good work IZZE

LecturerAlan: Yes sir, got surface tension on the soda. Not a very large amount though. A very small amount shows up quite well on close renders. Thanks for the remarks. And just in case someone does not know what were talking about.....

cresshead: No problem. Glad your interested......
