Hi all,
First of all I want to say that blender is a great thing - keep up the good work. The same goes for the documentation and the many tutorials.
The reason for my post is to get some more info on the clear glass tutorial which can be found at:
http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/Tutorials/Materials/Clear_Glass
After creating my own wine glass and following the steps, I did get something that looked like glass but it didn’t look like the rendered images in this tutorial. I would like to find out whether it is caused by my crappy version of the wine glass or not.
I created the wine glass by spinning a mesh profile much like what is described here under the spin section:

The mesh of the wine glass in the ‘clear glass’ tutorial looks infinitely better though. It would be great if somebody could explain how that mesh was created.
