In the meantime I thought about it some more and in the end I used a clear crystal glass from the presets and just changed the diffuse colour to a green I liked and the transparency to a lighter green.
Ended up with a nice one - dunno why I didn't think of doing that in the first place - basic brain malfunction, obviously.
I do have a nice selection of glass colours, plain and frosted... just not on this PC - I must've panicked I guess... Duh!
Hey Wildman2, I like your cork material and that's a nice tiled surface you've put it on - the glass mat looks similar to what I've got now. I don't think it's too dark, but I'm looking for many different glass mats now, as I want to do a scene with lots of bottles in it - different shapes and thus different types of glass. So I'll try a dark green and a lighter green, and blues and browns etc etc.
What are the MatLab settings for your green glass?
Come to that what did you use for the cork?
I used to have a load of cork mats but various hard drive meltdowns later - I don't any more.
I'm not happy with the wine but I can't find the correct refractive index for red wine anywhere, I've searched and searched and searched - nothing. That bright surface could be a combination of the IBL and the angle of the camera though... but I'm not happy with the way it looks....
