Its a very good theme and very challenging, I was going on intuition and some ref as opposed to thoroughly understanding the transit through the material, I'm going to do some more studies on the base primitives as this is quite a complex object to grasp the mechanics about it. Would be really interested to see others have a go and if anyone has some good articles about it id be really interested to see those too.
Cheers!

A post on the last day! That's how you win a theme. 
Nicely done too. Very glassy.
I'll leave this thread sticky for a while, just in case anyone else is inspired.

Yea I agree, to render materials with a brush
is a difficult task for sure. I tried plastic a couple
of times but failed, I believe to make white plastic
convincing was and is the hardest I believe.
With metals and glass and such you can always
play with reflections.
That picture from eyewoo is really nice btw. 
Here's my play with colors....

This one is very late but ultimately I wanted to do this exercise.. I went for 70% analyzing planes and 30% intuition. Really tough to get the right feel.

farvus, awesome.
I have changed the server a lot and it seems I did recycle my pic in here so I cannot edit and add.
Ah well, mine was pretty bad anyway lol.  |
