Some more experimenting..... Modeled decanter and glasses a few days ago..... Rendered scene with DOF at 5.6, Easy 10 , 100 passes. Linear tone map , dark 0.60, light 2.0. Used an HDRI for general light and one spotlight to the right side of table. Ran image through Topaz DeNoise and minor sharpened in Gimp.

Very nice, a better ice cube than I can manage.

Thanks Mike. Ice cubes have me pulling my hair out sometimes too

Good one!
Ice cubes look a bit too clear imo, but those are indeed a pain in the butt to get right. I did some messing around myself to see what I'd end up with, but just couldn't make them look good

RTD , Thanks and your spot on about the ice cubes. I've done A fair bit of off and on experiments with ice cubes and I.ve gotten close but not spot on yet.

hey Tuna57, this is a very nice image! Ice cubes are a bit too clear, you know that already, but still nicely modeled/lit/rendered. But everything else really looks nice.

I know you did some post-processing already, but here's the .psd file from this attempt, just for practice.

Thanks Fletch, as always the help is great! Been doing experiments with the ice cubes as time allows. Will post some results when I get something that suits me .

Very realistic

I have added my results thus far to the ice cube thread, in case it is useful.
