Blender 3D - Glass : Lighting

[stabilini]

round glasses needs round bases...

[raithlboy]

@stabilini No. You can start with cubes and add the subsurface modifier ot it. That will create round objects.

Watch my 3D animation it's called Earth and Moon, and the other one falling balls intro

u no this was made in what blender 1.7 i think and its still looks like anim8or is blenders shit

[InTheKnow88]

I made some glass vases and they look nice but I'm having a problem though. I export as OBJ but when I view it in meshlab it doesn't look right, either it doesn't have any texture and it's just a plain ol object or it doesn't look like a glass vase but instead looks like a vase with a pic slapped onto it! or something. it looks messy. How do I export OBJ and keep em looking transparent with normals? PLZ Help!

May our Heavenly Father & Jesus bless you.

[delta97baseball]

how do you make the camera move around like that??? thanks

[FreshDumbledoreNr1]

with keyframes

[UltimateMusicMaker]

What is the IOR in that

[zapxlib]

That was smooth and nice. I bet you would have started with a cube and made it into a huge plane for the base and then started with another cube to make the glass and made copies of it... I`ve been doing models that way... Is there any better way you use?

[LloydGod]

Exactly, Everything in the video started as a cube. I can't remember what tool I used to make the glass rounded though, it's been a while since I've used blender. Starting to forget the basics already d'oh.

[zapxlib]

doesn`t matter. I`m already drunk in the beauty of your creation! :)

[backwoodsgps]

i mean sound!!!!!

[LloydGod]

There used to be music playing in the video but the record company said take it down :(

[backwoodsgps]

is really good but could

but needs music

!!!!!

[ArmyTank00]

Dude for that to go into playmode would require the fastest computer on earth...

[RobbyStef]

that's awsome i made a glass too but how do you get it like that without going to Render mode?

[rev087]

It is a rendered animation

[GRANUALES]

Nice.

[hennytehhen123]

Nice.

You know you mat shaders well

[CAugusto95]

How much IOR did you set for the glasses?

[m9105826]

Glass has an IOR of 1.55

[contrarytothebrain]

dude, these are amazing!!

especially for a freeware

[antontontut]

what renderer did u use??

[QuantumAnomaly]

Nice! I'm curious what your lighting rig looks like.

[bump40]

how did u do that?

[ebwje]

You know about the blurry reflections?

[LloydGod]

You mean on the silver glasses? Yes. I know. It looks better if I enable transparent shadows on the silver. But this really increases my render time. My focus was on the glass and the environment lighting. Bright yet soft. And yes the green glass needs some tweaking too.
