Congrats.
A really great job.
I saw the other objects of your kitchen, this is the best one.
I'm a new Pover and  I can't set my glass texture like yours.

Where is the key ?

No, I think you're right. I will fix it.

What you mean by *shaker* ? My one-hundred-words English vocabulary gives it a
meaning I cannot link to anything here.

Ahem, I've not started it yet at all, but got some ideas...

Sorry, shaker is the wrong word. I meant how did you form the pepper
grinder?

There's no grinder here. That's just a jar containing pepper grains. The grinder
hasn't been modelled yet... ;-)

My mistake. I buy some plastic containers of pepper with a grinder built
into the top. These look very similar.

Hi Alessandro,
from your names I would have bet you were Italian... are you Brazilian/Portuguese ?
BTW, here are some hints about glass textures:
1) ambient 0 (this rule could apply to most materials).
2) very low diffuse (as low as you can: try 0.05)
3) I quite always use something like rgbf <.95,.95,.95,.98> as pigment. It's not
completely transparent, but gives the glass a more *solid* appearance.
4) specular 1 and low roughness (something like 0.003 should work).
5) variable reflection: reflection {0.1,1 fresnel on}.
6) interior fade_distance and colour.
7) photons often help...

Of course POV 3.5 comes with some nice glass textures, so you don't really have to
reinvent the wheel... ;)

I know. I got them too, and the shape is just the same: the only difference is that
some containers have the built-in grinder, some ones do not. But, you know, I prefer
the old-way wooden grinders... :)
