it looks like the glass is too thick or the content is too thin..
nice work

Could you explain how you made the Coke Logo? Looks like an alpha map!

Thank you guys
"glass-is-too-thick-or-the-content-is-too-thin-thing" is caused by the Specular material...
The Coke logo is a polygon mesh, generated in Maya from a EPS file
(I don't know how to use Alpha in Indigo)
Cheers!

it seems to occur the same problem it occured with maxwell a while back. in this particular case you have to model eliminating coincident polys: where the glass and the fluid share a boundary you have to model only the fluid poly and should remove the glass.
as a reference have a look
here .

Huh
I didn't understand that...

ArneOGG, ... you don't have to understand the whole stuff, but what
ya need is to model your fluid/glass like this:
The fluid has to be 'inside' the glass to work correctly with Maxwell/Indigo.
Not like in other render engines where you would have to do it the way
you are doing it --- I'm guessing here! ;o))
Thomas had a good example scene as .3ds ... I'll look for it when I'm
back home.
take care

Ehrm...
Can't say that did much good...
All that happend was stupid color on the top of the liquid and the cool SSS effect dissapared...
Plus if I now turn Bidir on, as I did in the last one, I get the blackish result on the top here...

Erm, ... well, ... as far as I've seen bidir does some funny stuff.
As I rendered my last image and turned on bidir the image was
much lighter ...well, ... the lights seem to be brighter to be
exaclty. I guess bidir is not working well with HDRI lighting.
Do you get the same without bidir?
take care

Oops... said something wrong
The last image is without Bidir
This is what I get if I turn it on
But on the two upper ones here has Bidir turned on...
After I did some Mesh Modifying last night the Image got blackish when I rendered it, with bidir on.
I turned off my computer andd went to bed...
And today I desided to try again, I ran Indigo and What!? NO BLACK IMAGE!?
Does Indigo make some kind of temporary hidden log besides the log.txt?
Bidir is weird
