They will actually render brighter like the ones on top I just didn't tweak the settings on the bottom two yet. Still no bump, spec or displacement maps.

Finishing touches! Thought I would get to do bottles today, but needed to go back and do minor tweaks. Once I get the displacement maps on there that should really pop.

Gemstone Tweaks. I really like this way of doing them with the back it really makes them stand out when you set the translucency on the top face of the gemstone.

@Pendraia , that's an idea, but not sure on the time constraints It would be a kewl effect for the blade also. Though, I'm not all that familiar with it looking as it should. I saw your post about it not too long ago. How did your render come out with the wings and moon?

The sword was what made me think of it...I could see a render with a glowing magic sword to fight the vampires.

I did post my last version of the render somewhere but I'm not sure where still waking up at the min. So hope it's okay to post here. I still haven't worked out how to get a soft haze around the glow as I would like on the moon...dress, wings, dragon, mushrooms and moon all emit light. Couldn't get the moon to have a glow though which I really wanted.

@RAMWolff good to know about the stone texture colors I will for sure keep that in mind if I decide to do this. It's for sure looking into.

@Pendraia I really like this effect. Though I'm not sure how difficult it is going to be to recreate. Love how the mushrooms came out!! It's absolutely something to think about!! It's totally ok with me to post here!! =)

I rather like the fractal effects though and these are all 2D, but not sure how you would recreate them in a 3d program. The blue flames I painted in PS.

I guess I will show today's work on the Crucifix and the Bottle Droppers. I will do labels tonight. Still need a little more work on the glass shader and the raised edges.

There will be wood and cork too and probably a bloody mat or two.

I'm not sure...I'll have a think about it and if I get chance I'll have a play.
Aye if not this set I can for sure use it for another one. Let me know what you come up with. Also where is that tutorial about the uber shader and the lace patterns. I might take a look at that a some point also.

This tutorial. I wonder if you could use that to make blood overlays can't do it for this set, but I would like to explore this tutorial more.

Okay...I wouldn't call that ubershader it's more making use of nodes to create overlays. Yes I need to look at that some more also. Haven't forgotten just never have enough time...
