Artwork Works in Progress

Hi there! :slight_smile:
When I render my coffee cup, it doesn’t seem like the cup is made of glass rather out of cheramics.
And isn’t transparent like it supposed be.
Does anyone know why?

Hi :slight_smile:

Some ideas what could be causing this:

  • some geometry sticking in the glass which is hidden in your viewport but is rendering (maybe a duplicate of the cup u created without noticing it)
  • some faces within the model are doubles. try merging vertices which share the same position (alt+m - >“by distance” set to 0.0001 m.
  • normals are wrong, try recalculating them
  • guessing from the curly pattern going around the cup it seems like youre using a texture on the cup. is it plugged in correctly in the shader?
  • in the reference render there is fluid in the cup. if u got some in yours as well, try scalling it either down or up a little. If the faces of the glass and the fluid geometry have a tiny gap inbetween them it cn cause black spots.
