Hello everybody!

Would be really nice if someone could give me som help and answers:)

first why don’t u add some objects around to get some reflections et…
like a table or other objects

2 - may be use anHDRI map to have more reflection in the glass faces

3- looks at wiki for trick using glass

4 - may be try to use yafaray but you need to read how to render glass
but you’;llneed to do it under 2.49

hope it helps

happy 2.5

The grey background would only exist in a photography studio.

The black shape at the bottom left is absolutely black. It should have light from the environment lighting it up a little. In reality, everything reflects light. Look around you and you’ll notice that every object you see is reflecting light from things around it.

You could add a little grain noise to the image also. Possible mess around with adding a slight vignette effect. Or maybe a little lens flare or something. When you have things in the background, you could also try to add a little DOF.

Peace
