Cant tell from the mesh but how thick are the walls of the glass? Did you use a thickness modifier? They look really good!

Thanks!

I started with a 8 sided cylinder and applied a solidify modifier set to 1 mm.

Thats a neat build shot! How many samples do you have to use to get clean glass?

For the images 1080 x1920 at 100% and 100 samples. I also use the denoiser and clamping to clean up the noise. I can screenshot the settings when I get a chance. I’m currently rendering a short animation.

Wow the denier really cleaned that up. Last time I made nixie tubes it took ages to get a decent render. IIRC that was before denoiser days.
