Challenge 1 WIP
I was already working on this when I had the idea for this thread
Still needs alot of work, modeling and tweaking the glass texture, the lens flare glow looks good. Unfortunately Glare and 3d Aura don't work through glass.
The rim light comes from a bulb light directly behind the 'bulb'. Needs more rim light though to better match the challenge image. Maybe tweaking the glass shader will help. A little fresnel maybe.
could be fun
That looks cool!
thanks, yours too, lighting closer
not getting quite the effect
mine a party light maybe?
try a spot with a lens flare just in front of the bulb pointing at the camera
Popping in the thread just to say this is a great idea. No time now to participate but will make some time in the not too distant future.
Octane render and added thickness to the bulb, it did have thickness but clipped for some reason in Octane so now double thickness.
it was lathed from a polyline tracing
is smoothed 4X but still a bit facetty in Octane
I need a better screw, that is not actually spiralled, might use spline room to make one
Oh nice! Does Octane automatically add that glow to glow shaders?
to an extent but I tweaked an octane shader, glow otherwise has very low blackbody emission
I also added glare and bloom
Not sure of an easy way of doing that in Carrara though I've seen a youtube tutorial for doing such a thing in hexagon...

draw a shape then extrude a spiral
the settings are the annoying part as much starting over
I did one and stuck it on a cylinder but ended up converting to a vertex model and offsetting
this is that file
Octane animation (not the file in thread above)
Looks ok, though like the look of that filament glow from octane better...
I like yours
Thanks!

Crazy glass animals...
my glassware
various vertex doodles mostly lathed, ball was a sphere extracted around edges
digital painters glass shaders
Cool looking, did you model all those?
yes
my rapid attempt, even basic lighting took a couple hours, gave up on sun and skylight
if keen later might try FLUIDOS
really nice light bulb moments
sorry to sit this one out, I spend all my time avoiding realism!!
don't gain much sunlight instead of indirect light and skylight rendering
except 3 more hours and only this far...
Perfume Bottle sitting on a mirror outside
Wow that is a pretty scene! How do you get the foam?
Good render Bunyip, the sky gives some nice reflections...
Thanks Headwax, feel free to comment any time. And keep up your non-realism work!
