I dont particulary like it. I think the biggest problem is the lack of some sort of idea what to do with a shape, to be original. So, from the industrial design, this is average.

3d is qute average as well. The materials are too CG, lack of proper textures makes that even more obvious, and the lighting is quite bad.

Sorry for harsh opinions. I know this is WIP, so I would say, start intenting interesting shapes first..

Errr, whats going on with the fizz thing underneath?

I've tried for ages to get a realistic glass beer bottle (Something kind similar to your thing) and I discovered something by accident. The refraction of the material was making my glass too opaque whatever I tried. You've got this problem too. You'll have real problems as well if you try to put liquid inside too.

Anyway, what I found was that selecting the polygon on the INSIDE of the glass (Not the outside) and making them transparant worked a treat. You could now clearly see the refraction correctly. You also might want to try adding a hdri sphere around your scene for some neat reflections.

Keep it up!

Tony.
