bottle cap

after seeing all the bottle caps but especially the 3d ones in the xaraxone advert
i wanted to see if it could be done using a simple blend

Attachment 97638

Looks awesome Big frank

Like.

not got round to a mini-tut yet
but been playing with techniques
its geometrically guesswork
nothings measured
but im more pleased with it now
the water droplets add to the illusion i think

Wow, that is a great image you created! The water droplets really add to it.

thanks boy

i discovered by studying water droplets on glass, leaves, other surfaces, that water droplets aren't perfectly round as you might think and i wonder if that helps to give the image a more natural look

:thx

WOW BF another great design ... I take it you drank the contents of the bottle :)

I am sure that they do but your smart adaptation of the Heineken logo elements (including the colors) and the bottle cap's rendering all make it look very realistic. Actually it looks even more realistic than all the photographs of real Heineken bottle caps I googled.

I might be wrong Frank, but I think the effect would be better if the highlights on the water droplets were to the upper left segment of the droplets rather than the lower right.
The light is coming from the upper left.

thanks guys for the really kind words
