Hi everybody,
was playing around with Blender, and did an ordinary coke-can for a more complex exterior Szene later to come.
Maybe someone will find it useful to have the blendfile, feel free to use it in your own projekts or to learn from it.

Cool, how did you do the label?
Nice job, ReSeT
The only improvemts I can suguesst is more bevel on the can where it tapers up to the lid, and moving the opener more closer to the hole and into it a little bit.

Nice job. Did you make the texture yourself? If yes, do you mind me using it?

No, i found it somewhere on the net, but without any copyright notices, thus I think it’s okay if you use it.
Without copyright notices? Well, good then., I’ve been looking for such a texture for a while. 
By the way, downloaded your blend. Why on Tim Burtons planet of the apes did you render with yafray? You could do a lot better with the Blender inernal render using Ambient Occulsion. IMO.

Ooh, now I want coke! 
I like it. The texture looks ever so slightly fuzzy, did you try changing the filter?
Keep it up.
Good can. How much verts?
I could go for one of those right about now. Very impressive.
the “eiskalt” cylindical mapping stretches on the cone. ( which can happen to real cans when printed before bending, due to material stress ) to prevent that shrink UVs in y direction a little for that cone region.

yeah can i use the blend file? i want to have alittle homey touch to my picutre
Why on Tim Burtons planet of the apes did you render with yafray?
Well, let me say that I am a fan of yafray. I like the way it produces realistic images. I think there’s still room for improvements, since this is a very poor example for yafray’s capabilities. 
And Yafray GI is much faster than Blender AO in my opinion.
The SubSurfed Mesh has about 14.000 Vertices when it’s converted.

I thought I had to leave it that way, because of realism.
yeah can i use the blend file?
Sure, everybody feel free to use it.
Cheers

*goes down stairs gets a glass of coke * pppssssffffff mmmmm looks cool and i did get some coke :D.
Cool picture!
A few years ago I needed the texture of a can too. (a red-bull can) Unfortunately I could not find the texture on the internet. So i simply put the can on my scanner and rolled it as the scanner-light moved…
works perfectly.
