I am the optimist. Keyshot gets me headed in the right direction, and fast! Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
that's funky looking glasses :)
NEVERMIND THAT IT WAS DONE IN KEYSHOT, I LOVE THIS DESIGN!!!!!WELL DONE :o
HALF FULL ;D
Michael- really like these. I think it's my round so fancy a swig from this Klein bottle?

Nice one Norman !
Is that wine on the inside or on the outside ? :p Can you render this without the wine ? This way we can better view what the glass is doing at the botom of this.
Hi Phillipe
Here is the 100% empty version. I've changed it to green because it looks unnaturally dark in white when you get more than one thickness. I should probably increase my ray bounces.
Super cool, but it looks pretty tricky to pour out of!
Nevermind render quality .. it had to be a quick render before I start (real) work.
Seeing these funny glas things here, I had to do a quick concept-render of my "invention". I've had this idea for quite a long time now .. a glass with integrated opener. It doesn't have to be glass, it could be hard plastic like the one from re-usable-plastic-cups for festivals or such.
I have no idea if this could be produced ... either way ... I kinda like this idea as a gadget.
Like the idea, Philippe, but that'd have to be one helluva material to do it in one. Probably a steel insert would be the way to go. I say this because my daughter made a bottle opener at school last year. In these health-and-safety-conscious times, the only material they were entrusted to work with with was aluminium (that's "aluminum" for all you US-English speakers out there). After a dozen uses, it looked like it had been chewed by a tyrannosaur. Those crinkly steel caps are tougher than they look - as anyone who's ever tried to bit one off will attest.
It does have a metal insert indeed. That was part of the plan.
Unless for gadgetery .. it could be made from the same plastic used to make re-usable cups. Here (in Belgium) on some festivals we have such cups and I can tell you .. the material used for those is so "hard-bitten" that you could step on one (real hard!) and it would NOT crack! In the case of a gadget, who cares if it doesn't work +5.000 times to open a bottle ;)
But in this render it's glass with a chrome insert. Perhaps scrached aluminium would have made that clearer ;)
QuoteIt does have a metal insert indeed. That was part of the plan.
Ah, I see it now. Might be worth rendering it with an anodised metal finish so it stands out.
I've added it with the previous post.
