Thanks Doug,
Can the saturation be manipulated in Carrara, or is it done later when
opened in Photoshop?
The droplets are reflecting the blue sphere inside which I enclosed the
scene, I added a few more since, in Photoshop. I used Carrara's water
shader for the droplets, I don't think it has any colour.
I created a profile in Illustrator that had an inner surface, I swept
it around a circular path at the base. I used the inner Illustrator
path in the same way to create the liquid inside using a Boolian
subtraction with a cube to get the top flat surface.
I did render with caustics turned on, it took 21 hours to render, I
think it was worth it.
I was thinking of rendering the bottle only with caustics turned off to
get a label without the reflections from the ice.
Thanks again for your tips Doug.
David
