Juice Glass

[Boofredlay]

A quick juice glass study I did the baked over night.
I was going for juice; orange at first then maybe apple but I think it turned out more like a urine sample :dho:

[olishea]

seriously dehydrated are you?

How did you light the scene? Which setting did you use for glass?

Sorry about the questions! I'm interested as to how different people set up different scenes.

Good job, Boo...

...I think it turned out more like a urine sample :dho:

(I'm not sure I wanna know if your urine really looks like this... )

[Boofredlay]

No, it was from my dog and the doc says she has diabetes

Looks great Boo, actually looks like Ceres apple juice.

Oli, I will get back with you on the specifics, I am at the office now. However if I remember correctly I used a light buff background color with the sunlight enabled but I don't remember the brightness or intensity. Then I placed three different color triangles around the glass and made them light emitting surfaces.

So my question is, what material and settings would be best for orange juice?

Edit: Thanks Pete.

lol i just noticed...did you model the meniscus?! haha

[Boofredlay]

I did but I think it is too pronounced.

Thanks to this:

Most liquids like this, juice, milk, etc, are a kind of sub-surface scattering because they have particles suspended in liquid. So, if you didn't use sss, you could try it out.

Thanks Chris. I did try SSS earlier and the material turned out way too dark. I will have to look at it again.

Oli, here are the settings. The triangles are an invisible emitter at 500.
