My favorate trick. Turn down shadows.In the sunshine texture browser part. IMHO it's turned up way to high by default in vue. Move the camera sightly up then to kill the reflection. Use the bubble for the glass instead of glass. Remember it's all fake you can do anything you want anytime you want to do it. Don't use direct sunlight sky pick a different one. I use one of the foggy ones for best results. In the world of photography direct lighting sucks. Omnidirectional overcast skies give the best results. If you want the perfect flower picture you take it on a rainy overcast day. You never take pictures of people in direct sunlight, it's counter productive.
