Work In Progress :: Frosty

[Newest updates and pictures on top of page, Im not that concerned with making thumbnails for WIP pages -- expect filesize to be fairly big]

[30 22 2001] - Started this new little image, it a continuation of some experiements Ive done modelling liquids. I still have some areas to improve, such as:
- More bubbles
- Add tiny bubbles..
- Look into getting a more frosty/whitish look to the ice
- Distort the water column more
- Changing the 2 bottom peices of ice?

Though, im fairly happy with the overall look of it, especially since Im looking more towards a "poster" look than a pure realistic one. Im especially happy with the top ice cube.. thought that came out pretty neat ;)

mat' : N/A ::: you're too hard with yourself. I have 3DSMax too and I know how difficult it is to render something like this glass of water. That's actually really nice work. Special mention for the lighting!!!

AlterMInd : N/A ::: w00t..... okay... I give up on 3D... I am totally outnumbered
Brian : N/A ::: Wow! All i can say is WOW! That is such an amazing picture, i have previously attemted to make what you have accomplished and i am utterly stunned that someone actually did it. After trying many times, i can never get my glass to look right, or the water. I would greatly appreciate it if you would make a tutorial about how you came to make this, or if you could e-mail me the Max file for reference and study. Thanks Alot, Brian.
julian : N/A ::: Nice rendering! Keep up the good work. I've long had trouble creating realistic looking glass in Max.I consider myself as an entry level at using Max. Can you -- pls tell me how to create a good rendition of glass in Max, eg.window glass?
ca95f : N/A ::: Great work. Very nice rendering. -- Just one thing though. As I did last year a similar still for a client (it was a glass of beer actually), the only thing you should think is wether the glass should look as clear as it looks. When you put something cold in a glass almost immediately, water droplets appear on the outside because the vapour in the atmospheric air cools and forms it. Sometimes when the droples get too big and heavy, they collapse running downthe surface, taking down more droplets in their way. Fill a glass with ice water, wait for a minute and watch it carefully.
mb : N/A ::: bravo
Samtawwww : N/A ::: great pic, if you can send me the max file to study , will be greatly appreciated

masood : N/A ::: I have surprised when I see the picture . as a matter of fact I didn't know that max can be so powerfull. -- please send me your max file if you can may be I learn more about max. -- Thank you very much.
Ubby : N/A ::: The glass effect is fantastic; perhaps the perspective could be better, and the border more visible
Kris : N/A ::: It's reaaly amzing! Great work!! -- One question of course: Did you use any photo as a reference to model the liquid? Don't tell me please that this is youre pure imagination... :)
Jack J : N/A ::: Hi -- Great work! -- The only question I have is - Could you bump up the refraction index at the edges of the glass? -- In Maya you could assign Sampler info node to the refraction index, is it possible in Max? -- Also water should have just a bit tider specular index (now it looks like a white oil) -- Other then that Great work -- ps. I don't care much for the Napster logo on Draken (like napster but there is time and place for everythink, if you really wonted to put it down there you should "dirt it up" a bit -- Jack J
jiri fryda : N/A ::: Hejsa! -- What about tutorial how was done this great piece of art? It should be vere helpfil for us, who is on smaller level ... Thanx anyway.
