My first glass. I used spatch to create this glass that I have at home.

I took 18 mins 40 Secs. on a 450Mhz PII, Windows 2K 256M/RAM
MegaPOV 0.5 (no special features used)

Nothing Special, but I thought I should post somting after lurking for quite
a while ans seen the remarkable images that have been posted...

Looks pretty good, nice modeling.  The camera view is a difficult one for checking it
out.  No
'caustic' in there at all or is it too wide to be noticed?  That would make it's
shadow look a lot
better.  Wondering if you used any 'fade_distance' or only smokey pigment?

I like it. Is the 'stand' a different glass or is it just 'a trick of the
ligth'? It looks less tinted.

Looks good so far, one piece of advice I'd give is that if you
like that glass texture make a copy of it somewhere, I found
when working with glass that it can be really difficult to get
the right colour and so easy to mess it up again. 

We've got glasses here that shape.

The "Glass" is just the Glass texture in the standard textures.inc file. So,
no caustics or fade or anything really.

My biggest difficulty is comming up with a good vision of a scene. So I
mostly just play around with POV. Although some of the images skar some
ideas, most are well beyond my ability. So I'll just keep
learning and maybe, someday I'll be good enough to do somting really good.

Hmmm, I'm not missing any glasses....

Good idea on making a copy, I've lost a few test textures that way already.
