I'm trying to get this pint glass to have the same bulbous and curvy look as the tutorial I am following but it just won't work.

This is how it is supposed to look:

And this is how mine looks:

As you can see there is a lot different between the meshes. I got the tutorial from blender guru: Blender Guru

I've attached the .blend

  • $\begingroup$ Have you tried scaling up the rings of vertices closer to the bottom of your mesh until you get your desired result? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Yes but it looks horrible. And I have a really hard time selecting inner vertices. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Yeah I added the lights that come later in the tutorial, but I must've missed something in the tutorial or he didn't explain everything because I've tried to make this glass from scratch several times and I just can't replicate what this guy did. Also, I'm wondering if there is an inner mesh at all in my glass? $\endgroup$

I'm putting my comment here to add images to better explain what I found.

I tried briefly the same tutorial, now.

I'm rendering the result of my short test, I'll post it here soon. edit: here it is

left is with basic diffuse ground plane, right is identical but with glossy ground plane: look at the difference... note: I didn't even add a world hdr, and not even the "fluid" inside... all could add to the result.

enter image description here

Although render settings in the tut seem to be not disclosed, I think your glass shows a somewhat dim lighting, almost no reflections... why didn't you set the emissions planes off camera?

but mostly the mesh seems to have a weird bottom, and seems to have almost no depth... did you follow closely the modeling workflow?

Look at this image, which I got after bisecting (it is an edit mode tool) your mesh to make more visible the inside...

enter image description here

I'm sure you've never seen a glass like this...

here is my attempt in comparison:

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks. The bottom was definitely weird! I started over again and really really scrutinized the tutorial. There's a video version on youtube as well that explains some things not mentioned in the site link. However, it looks like I didn't apply the solidify modifier properly to the entire object, as well as learning to select loops with alt + RMB and alt + RMB + shift to select more loops. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Ohh right I thought you already saw the video, it helps out a lot. Andrew Price is excellent with video tutorials, I have found him useful for too much to recall. $\endgroup$
