Greetings all!
Just taking a bit of a break. The cup shall be in two materials, possibly glass or ceramic for the main cup part which contains the liquid. The base and handle will be in metal. Unfortunately when I exported from Solidworks the cup object, it exported everything as one object, so I could not ungroup anything to use different materials for texturing. Solidworks has a number of export formats, but none friendly to Bryce, except .wrl (VRML). Usually I must export to .step then to Rhino for .3ds then to Bryce. But last night for convenience, I went straight to .wrl then realized it's all one object. oops!
Anyway.... I should be uploading another WIP render with some changes in a few hours.
The cup's edge are all rounded...fillet. Unfortunately maybe not thick enough to see, or the metal texture defeats seeing the fillet. I'll change the inside dimensions and will upload a render.
The handle to the second version will be a bit different and more traditional.
Thanks all for all your comments. :-)
