Ok I made these beerbottles for my next project.
58 minutes and 12 seconds. Why?
And where did that splash of gold come from?
That was unplanned.

It's the caps huh?

I think its the topic title.

'New WIP' in a WIP forum isn't going to catch to much attention.

Go back into your first post and edit the topic to 'Free Beer!'.
You'll get lots of attention.

Nice bottles!

Thanks LOL
It wont let me change title LOL

48 minutes and 59 second render
No bottle caps.

I'm using 13.0t, but it did render with the same results as your images. Though in the Choreography it's showing you have Glow set to 200%, not sure if that would be causing the effect, or if it's intentional.

I'll try a render at 100% glow.

EDIT: 100% glow, no appreciable difference except render time was about 10 minutes less.

Since the label for the beer bottle was missing, I made up a dummy of my own but it didn't appear. I'll try another render with it.

here I changed orange rimlight to white.
48 minutes 46 seconds.

no idea why the renders are so big.
Gizmo any luck on your end?

They're rendering in VGA mode, I usually use low resolution (320x240) for my own tests.

Here's my latest render of it. Moved the Rim light back enough that the bottles were still within its field, changed Rim light to White, glow at 100%, plus my custom label decal. Render time was 21:23.

And here's my label so you can see it up close:

Edit: Oh bah, I forgot to put "brand" in tiny letters under the "Spleen" logo.

You have radiosity turned on. That's causing both the gold 'splashes' and the long render time. (although your original prj renders in 17 minutes here)

very cool Gizmo!!!!
Can I get the model with label on it please?
Radiosity! Thank you! I shall try that!

25 seconds!!!!!!!!!!! radiosity was it!

All right, I've tried to save my version as an embedded project file. If the image doesn't come with it, you can at least download my label from the post above. I originally had it as a tga file and changed it to jpg for the forum post. It was a quick and dirty decal, I didn't flatten the bottle before applying, so there is a bit of visual stretch at the ends.

Hope this works, remember this is in 13.0t.

I love it! Thank you!

It bugged me for the last three hours that I failed to include "brand" on the beer label, so here's the revised version.

If I really wanted to get obsessive about it, I'd be putting in registered trademark symbols, hometown of the brewery, all that sorts of stuff.
The non-script lettering is all Copperplate Gothic Light font, just different sizes and some italics. The cartoons in the corners of the label are from a font called Erotica, which I found at a font site. I still have the original zip file for it if you're interested.

Nice bottles ,makes me thirsty

All right, I got obsessed again. Might be a little too much detail on the label now for its size.
I was going to do the bottle cap, but it's been years since I've worked with multiple decals placement.

Added the lower lip and tongue.

This cowhead will be mounted on a mechanical bull.
I see now I better lower the roughness on parts of him.
But it's not a bad head, as far as heads go.

Looking good so far ,I like the cows ,theye got a nice look about them
