This is beautiful and brilliant. I wonder why you have chosen Octane for rendering (Instead of doing it in Carrara), and how did you export it for use there? I am also curious about Zbrush for tank and water. Those seem to me to be the large elements of the scene and I always think of Zbrush as the fine&small-detail-for-close-up tool. Was it just for convenience? or did you use some features of ZBrush for this, which are not available elsewhere? Also, did you use replicators for the drops? Or is it a meta balls particle generator? Stunning work!

@ Antaran Octane render 15 x faster , is it unbiased rendering that use GPU with Physically correct light and materials and right now the most realistic renderer , I exported OBJ scene from Carrara and imported into Octane , simple way .. Zbrush 4R3 can do everything it is not only for sculpting , you can create organic or hard edges model as it have all features needed for any modeling . The bubbles and drops was created using meta balls but hand made one by one and not particles , the water surface surrounding the fruit was made in Zbrush also , the all elements was made in real world scales for the best rendering effect in Octane as it request it for the realistic effect possible , if I rendered it in Carrara it would take maybe 60 hours for render and still will be not that detailed as Carrara use only 0.5 pixel sample and render using CPU , that why Octane is unlimited in samples and render much faster detailed elements . Carrara is still good and render beautiful but the time is longer and have not physically correct light
