It's wrong. It's wrong. It's wrong. It's wrong.
Perhaps you should notify Nathan of this. It may be a problem with the
Photon patch. Perhaps something to do with using transparency in bitmaps...
Not sure. But the shadow with photons should be similar to that w/o photons
in this area. Of that I'm quite sure.
If you like, you can send me the source and I'll do a quick debugging
session...

Try making it shinier. It looks like it dried out under the lights.
Also, the bubbles have too much color... It reminds me of the Oorbs
drink that was out a while back.

It looks to me as though you've got two shadow problems here, I hardly
noticed the lemon problem, at the top of the drink the shadow is almost
solid ( in the shadow on the floor, not in the drink itself ), this
makes it look as though there is a head of froth on the drink, as you
would see on a glass of beer.  I'm sure this hard shadow shouldn't be
there.

Anyway what is a Grenadine made of?

Cheers

Sweetened pomegranate juice if I am not mistaken.

+AD4-It looks to me as though you've got two shadow problems here, I hardly
+AD4-noticed the lemon problem,......

This one is solved (by Margus), I didn't put a photon+AF8-pass+AF8-trough statement
in the lemon. Stupid me.

+AD4-.... at the top of the drink the shadow is almost
+AD4-solid ( in the shadow on the floor, not in the drink itself ), this
+AD4-makes it look as though there is a head of froth on the drink, as you
+AD4-would see on a glass of beer.  I'm sure this hard shadow shouldn't be
+AD4-there.

Tried several things, nothing solved this yet. There should be a shadow
allright but it is mutch to dark.

+AD4-Anyway what is a Grenadine made of?


It's the juice of pommegranate. Verry refreshing.

It is completely smooth, no fine-structure. Try to use
the texture of the pulps for a normal also. This should
do it a little better (I do wood this way: use the "wood"
pattern both as pigment and as normal).
