Jammy goodness........ :o)

For the Tiptree Jam Factory (Wilkins and Sons) I'm going to try for a strawberry jam jar reflecting the factory. The camera will then pan round to see the buildings (hopefully ;o)

For the jam jar, I sketched a Spline Curve.....



Then revolved it round using the Lathe Tool...



For the glass effect, I set the material type to Raytrace and the settings as follows.....



This gave me a nice see through glass effect.... (At the moment, the 'jam' is just a red cylinder)



For the lid I used a shaped Cylinder with polygons pushed in and out then Turbosmoothed...


Just need to figure out how to get the label on the jar now ;oD

For the 'strawberry jam' I experimented with several different types of material maps before finaly adding a Speckle Map to the Bump channel then set the colour options to different shades of red. It gives a nice jammy effect :o)

Update..... Got the labels on now :o)

The label images were modified in Photoshop then aplied to the Material of a cylinder which is just proud of the glass surface. For the label on the glass, the image had a black and white Mask which was added to the Opacity Channel which sees black as transparent.
