This is looking pretty crappy so far, but the main problem is getting rid of
the overlapping shapes. I looked through some tutorials for a while but
couldn't find anything that worked, so I figured I'd post here before I go
to bed. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Optium

The magic word is 'merge'. It removes the intersected surfaces. So if you
have the primitives in a union now just replace union with merge.

I tried merge last night, and it does the same thing as union. I think this
may be because the objects are transparent...but I'm really not sure. But
thank you for the input.

Actually, I think this looks really great as a kind of abstract of a bottle.
I like being able to see the primitives... looks cool! :)

Hughes is right. If you have nested unions, be sure to use merge only in
those who combine surfaces that overlap. For example:
union {
// bottle
merge {
cylinder { .... }
sphere { ... }
cylinder { .... }
}
// black bottle head
union {
sphere { ... }
cylinder { .... }
}
}
This is a nested union. It allows the whole bottle (with head) to be moved
in one piece, but I put the merge only where it's needed. If this still
doesn't work, I guess it's because you've made the overlapping objects
hollow? This will be another story.

Hugo

*such a moron*
I guess trying to make this at 12 last night wasn't the best idea, I put the
merge in the wrong place (replacing the union in the black bottle top with
merge...instead of the union of the bottle pieces) *sighs*
Heh, well it's starting to look ok. Thanks for the help everyone :)

Well the bottle is coming out nicely, so I figure I'll share the newest
versions of it. I'm still working on getting good water for the 2nd picture,
but the stuff I have will have to do :P

Coming along nicely, but at the moment, your glass looks like
plastic imo. Not sure if that's intended or not, but if not, try this:
texture {
T_Glass2
finish {ambient 0 specular .03 roughness .001 reflection .02 }}
interior { ior 1.28 caustics 2 }
}
(You can take the ior 1.28 up to 1.33 for glass)
Also, I can't figure out if you have a glass wall thickness
there(?) - it doesn't look like it, so you might want to try that for
better effect.

Hmm, isn't 1.33 the ior of water? Glass has an ior of about 1.5.
