    Default Cappuccino, anyone ?

    Here's my latest Blender/Xara combination.

    Comments welcome, as always.

    Hello Guy,

    I like it very much. Bonus points for the great idea!!!

    I like the sky reflection in the hemispheres, but I think I would make the table extend (or roll up a bit) in the back so that you don't actually see any sky except in the reflections.

    Really cool, Guy

    Thanks for sharing!

    Good work Guy, however I don't know if it's just me because I don't understand the spherical objects, and the lower right shadow does not connect up properly to it's casting object.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    These are the lids on the glass containers.

    You're right Larry. I didn't notice. The shadows are completely Blender, I will have a look at it and see how I can change (right now, I don't have a clue...)

    @James - thanks for the comments - I'll try the roll-up, but I'm not sure it will work with the wood-texture

    Hello Guy,

    You're welcome!

    The roll-up would be way in the background and only needs to be slight...so will probably work, even though it's textured.

    Peace

    Thanks for the explanation Guy, a simple reply from me is Oh! Don't you just hate it when someone else just doesn't see it, which, I still don't. If I might make a suggestion though, would it be clearer to the viewer if a hole were cut in the spherical objects, sort of like a slurpee lid.
    You guys are just awesome in what you are doing with Blender. I just hope that if I keep working I too will get close (but may not ever equal). Right now I have other irons in the fire so can't devote any time to it.

    That's allright Larry. Life would be boring if we all agreed on everything.

    I prefer it the way I did it, so that I have a nice reflection on the spheres.

    Looking at it from different angles, I found that the shadow does connect, but under the angle shown here, there is a reflection from the glass on top of the shadow.

    Made a few "adjustments"
    - resized the table, and added a bit of bump
    - reduced the size of the coffee-beans to bring them more in proportion I think
    - made the foam a bit fluffier

    Guyke, did you try rendering this scene in Blender Cycles. I bet you'd see a good improvement with very low effort.
    Cycles did make the difference on how much I enjoy using Blender in the last months.
