Wineglass Efforts . . . Inspired by the beautiful photography of Janiss http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/browse.php?user_id=480273 I have been attempting to render a simple wineglass and get reflection and highlight effects like she captured so perfectly. Left is a Daz Studio effort, right is PovRay. You can compare both to the Janiss masterpiece at http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1426788&member and see I have a lot to learn. If refraction and reflection did not add so darn much to the render time, I think I would be a bit closer to her wonderful images. All comments welcome, mcv

Looks like you're making good progress with this. I love using reflections, can't wait to see this progres.

Great work! Lovely colors. Only wish the picture was bigger so could see more of it.

Looks like povray is closer to what you are looking for. I wish we could see the full size pictures. ;) Not necessarily bigger, just the whole glass rather than half. The Daz image got the transparency and some refraction, but seems lacking in reflection, and glass "shine". But don't ask me how to do that, lol. Have you tried that side view in povray? I think you're doing great - keep working on it, if you have the patience. I know I'd give up after any render over 10 minutes, lol, so I really admire your perseverance!

(Would you believe I am trying to make art for the cellphone and Ipod users?) Opps, I somehow uploaded the thumbnail twice, funny I though it previewed full size fine right after the original upload. Anyway, the image should be just a wee bit larger now after a quick re-upload of the main render . . . I had to smile when I was told, "Well of course this does not look as good as the Janiss art photograph, you use a short fat water glass!" LOL ;-)

Great work! I haven't done much with glass so I would be no help there. But there is a great howto in the forums at DAZ about reflections/mirrors. I know that helped me alot. Yes, it does take a looooong to render them! :o))))

I saw Janiss photos and I know nothing of Daz stuff. Just bryce stuff. In bryce I would use a water texture just to use what happens. and put a spot light shineing thought it.[I would turn off the sun too in bryce] may work in Daz too I do not know. But what I see you doing is good; just need to be played with some more to get the reflections and lights too
