Coffee Cup Study

I have practiced CG and Blender for a little while and realized that I never have finished something. So I decided to make a simple render that I finished quite fast. So here is the result. I´m not entirely happy with the cup, and specially the coffee itself. I would like to have a greater fall off from transparent red in the edge o more solid black in the middle, fiddle a little with it and couldn’t get it together.

One small credit to Andrew Price for the pot top right corner that was included in the latest starter pack for Architecture Academy.

Critique and tips is appreciated.

Hey Cramer,

Very nice picture! I love the surface of the coasters. Although I would probably be more concerned about stains on them than the table. :slight_smile:

I just have a few suggestions. The light looks very strong on the table, just above the coffee cup. Perhaps the light source is set too close to the table.
Additionally it is a bit of a funny surface on the cup. It almost looks like pearl. Maybe it’s just me, but I have never seen such a cup.

I hope it can be of help.
