Description
Alchemical in subject...alchemical in method, this flask started life as a torus and a sphere, worked seperately and joined, the torus with neck and the sphere that is, copied and saved the inside for contents. made blob bubbles, an alchol flame [RJJCausticbump.itx on a transparent shape with a light amber, controlled y falloff light] for the bunson burner which started life as a sphere, was shaped, extruded, appropriate edges sharpened, parts split off, wick extruded into the jar on a path[wick textured with 2 instances of mtntop.itx over beige and a RJJCloth.itx, very small], alcohol made same as flask contents with appropriate IOR.
Steam is a volumetric object, environment is a "gallery" image map on a hemisphere mapped cylindrically. One soft shadow light set to 30 with a small X axis.in front right. The stand is primatives with the knurlled part of the connectors being a "gear" with 100 teeth for the grippy parts of the attachments. It was made with a freeware app called gearmaker that saves .dxf files...will post the URL when I find it. The base is a cylinder and 2 warped spheres. Hope this isn't too mush info...LOL
As always..comments welcome and thanx for stopping by

Nice work on these models. For me, it's all excellent. It deserves higher Anti-aliasing.

oh..hang tite..have it myself..it's in Freebies, here..handy at that..the above looks more Chemistry than Alchemy..but good modeling nonetheless..;)

Well it really depends on what stage of the process you're currently at: and I quote from the web dictionary, "Beginning with the prima materia, the alchemist heated, cooked, and washed the substance until it passed through the four stages of nigredo, albedo, cinitritas, and rubedo and became the Stone." this would be the cooking stage

This one rocks, Bobby! I never thought of making bubbles from blobs - love the effect! It gives the impression that your liquid is syrupy !

I really don't know the details and technical stuff of this sort of rendering, only having played with Vue and Bryce and Rhino a tiny bit. As for the render, I simply say, I like it very much.
