Ship in a bottle

[percydaman]

An old file I came across on my harddrive. The ship model, I downloaded somewheres way back when.

i think hdr effect is too strong cause,decrease realism.

for a ship in a bottle, thats a really small ship

[Da_elf]

or a big bottle. looks nice to me. ive been interested in doing something like that for quite a while

[percydaman]

the problem is that is probably not the best choice for a ship to put in a bottle...believe me, the ship barely fits in the bottle.

Hi Percy

what did u use for the water, REALWAVE or Clu3d ?

I am doing a project with fluid inside a bottle... the fluid gets effected by the bottles movement. Don’t really know witch of the 2 would b the most user friendly?

Materials look great, I like the wood base material and the ships textures. Side shot looks best but that reflected VRay light doesn't come across too realistic. The reflection plays such a large part of this image that you may consider building a hood for that light to reflect inside and this could make the edges of the reflection more realistic. I couldn't imagine a bulb producing that little light would reflect brighter than the exterior daylight. Size of the boat isn't bad but maybe it's distorting too much due to the thickness or IOR. I also noticed that your geometry is a little funky inside the bottom of the bottle. Looks like it could be causing problems with the refraction and maybe indicates more issues with the geometry.
