Carrara liquid in a bottle - Polyloop

Bittles · 25th November 2008, 20:22

This is a Rendering/modeling question

I am not getting the results that I want (natural looking) when I render clear bottles with a colored liquid inside.

What is the best way to fill a bottle with liquid?

Here is what I have been doing: I create my bottle and my liquid as separate shapes, the bottle is larger than the liquid, the edge of the liquid do not touch the glass, so there is air in between. I wonder if that's my problem, when I render, the air is picked up and affecting the render. I don't have them touch due to crazy patterns that happen when elements collide. Any advice?

Try the liquid a bit larger than the inside of your bottle. (of course you bottle need to have a thickness)

Pretty basically, you create a shape, to fit inside the thickness of the bottles glass.

A cylinder, say, inside the glass bottle. And apply independent shaders to the glass and the liquid.

Hope that makes sense!

do you use the vertex modeler or the spline one ?
in the second case , duplicate the bottle, retun to the spline modeler, and delete all the point, just keep the one that compose the liquid ...
hope it help you ...

bwtr I do create two different shapes the problem is where the touch I get crazy light reactions and where they don't there is air between the objects affecting lighting.
Solt to create my shapes I use Hexagon and I select surface modeling and Extrude line. Not sure what you are discribing... I'm not a pro

How does this look Bittles?

The bottle/waterpart are in an obj file created in MoI originally.

PM me if you would like the Carrara file to look at and experiment with.

The Carrara file is in the zip.

Have fun

An interesting difference.

Here I used the Blue Crystal glass shader on the "water".

Hello BWTR

That is like what do. Did you do anything special to get an exact fit or did you eyeball it.

Can you pick that I actually used part of the bottle revolve inner line to use for the water revolve?
