What Rae said....Bacardi = Brand name.

Don't stress NA I will certainly do some textures when I release it but I'm happy for others with an interest to do texture sets.

*Using Teacher voice @Art Of Mind 'we all have to share...sharing is good!' :devil" :devil" :laugh: :roflmao: :laugh:
I'm interested, but do have obligations to HW once the kit is out. Thinking some Koi fish textures would be nice and ....... not sure how you are doing the fins, but those beta fish and fan tail goldfish are really fun to watch and gorgeous! Oh and Black Molly goldfish with the black and gold shimmers.

ROLF!!

Moonshine ..... I think my grandpa used to run the car of that stuff distilled in his secret hiding place during prohibition.


no, not Moonshine, I wrote Meadshine on prupose, it does not exist. Mead was the popular drink back in meadevil times but was low proof made from honey and yeast, and Moonshine is straight eat out your belly pure as it gets.. so I combined the two and made Meadshine, does not exist.

I got you on the Meadshine lol.

Ok working on the bottle glass here. This is the first time I've worked with glass like this so bear with me. I can do it opaque no problem, but when I go to make it translucent I loose the label. Is there anyway to make the label not transparent with the outside layer?

Off for the night I think.

I need to tweak these with the glossy layer.

Wouldn't that just be a transparency map? Or is the problem that they are two different material zones and one seems to be effecting the other?

I think NapalmArsenal may have pulled an all-nighter?
I've sent some messages - I think we'll get this fixed soon. The label is modeled, with it's own material zone seperate from the bottle.
here it is with some of my shaders applied to it.

EEK!! =) Yeah looks pretty good. So can I change how the inside looks and the fluid levels? I have some water textures that might look rather neat, but will have to see also thinking of a crazed glass look to the outside.

You can change how the inside looks, the level is where it is, you can either have it full to the brim or stay where it is, I just added in an new material zone.
The image is nice, too bad it is not part of the set.

Will work more on the bottle and vial tomorrow some. I am working on the book currently.

I will probably not use the deco on there and change it out for a better one. Probably also add some buckles or something to the front as well.

So does any one have any book title suggestions?
