(WIP) China caffè

Here another wip for my work:
a caffè set from China!
I'm not satisfied about sugar... maybe I must model it and don't use only bumb?!

Ciao!

Nice, but the tone is way too dimmed for my taste, I would pump prescale like x2 !

As for sugar I dont know, the specularity seems too strong maybe, and it should definitly be (almost) opaque with sub surface scattering, sugar is a cristal so maybe go for a glossy transparent.

Yes CTZn, I definitly try with indigov0.7 and its advantages for SSS and glass carateristics!

Now I pump pre-scale or I add some brightness with PS as you said me!
Thanks!

very good 8bstudio.

some crits tho:
- as you already mentioned, the sugar material. also the edges of your sugar cubes are too sharp - bevel them.
- are the chinese letters meshes? if yes, use textures instead and use a blurred bumpmap - will give good results i think.
- the wood-material is really good i think.
- the "walls" of your cup are too thick imo.
- you may model the meniscus of the coffee surface, like this
- as already mentioned, overlall brightness and contrast (new indigotonemapper will help

)
- keep it up!

I used China font to create a mesh like Manitwo said.

Very nice, but two things, I'd add (or change) just for realism:
Chinese prefer tea, I'd say

Most chinese spoones are made of china...
Maybe, you can make it extravagant and use Jade -letters

("Jade" = Image, "-" = resource (indigo-forum), "letters" = download with 10 Mats

)

Hi to all!
Here last image after your comments!
Sugar....mmmhh!! Definitely I'll try indigo v0.7 for sugar too.
Next I change the cup and put tea so... SSS test!!

A lot better already

Tea (at least green tea) wont need SSS...
But the sugar and coffee... And I'd say, the china too

Hi!
...with green tea (SSS test, Indigo v0.7t5 and blender-indgo exporter GUI...very good!)

There are some problems with caffè!

hi,
very nice pic! i like the can!

the coffee looks like <normal_smoothing> is set false.

Hmmm... Can you use a camera-perspective from above the cup?
I think, the tea a bit dark...
Also, most green tea, actually looks yellow. It's called "green" 'cause of the leafes... Only really few sorts are geenish...
I wonder, what these edges inside the cup are?

I can't find a typical chinese green tea, which uses to be more yellow, but you can take this japanese green tea - a green looking jade dew tea - as a reference

HI! Here after your comments:
1. the tea seems more green now. Before it had also a normal smoothed problem! Now mesh hasn't smoothed normal!
2. I changed caffe mesh.
3. Sugar... to do!!

Wow... I love the crinkled wrapping paper for the chocolate.
I think you should do a close-up of just a few wrapped chocolates
