As well as the really poncey, arty-farty, frills-on-frills cup and saucer sets on sale to the gullible amongst us, the purveyors of Godawful Tat to the British public are selling much more basic mugs to celebrate some wedding or other. This is my version. No crown as Pembroke Corgis have never been recorded wearing so much as diamante tiara while scoffing the Pedigree Chum
Looks really nice, simple but beautiful render :), it just lacks a background, a mug should be on a table, doesn’t it ?
lol prince fido and lady trixie belle… brilliant
I agree about the background but it was quickly done and too fussy a background would draw the eye from the mug itself. Besides which I barely had time to knock this together before going to work. Thanks anyway for your comment.
I like it. Simple and clean. Good shader, also.
Here’s another version. I realised the mug was slightly rotated so have attempted to correct that. I applied a mirror to the plane and the HDRI to that plus instead of moving the camera nearer the mug I lengthened the focal length to reduce distortion (the previous one looks like the top is wider than the base but they are the same size
I just realised how overblown the HDRI reflection is on that so here is definitely the final version also with a little less foreground so the mug is the focus of the pic
Sorry for posting what I thought was a finished project and then tweaking it more. The problem is that you tweak a bit and then that makes something else not as good. Anyway I am now sitting on my hands so I can’t tweak again.
Fun theme and a nice render.

You’re not alone. Knowing when to stop and begin a new project is often difficult for me too.
