Material problem

[M_Orlich]

material questions are hard to get answered. it really comes down to understanding the physical properities of what you're rendering and how the light plays of it. it's a hard thing to come to grips with, but just keep reading and hopefully it will come together for you sooner rather than later.

You can either use a 3D projection texture for the cap, or do a uv mapping on the cap.

If it is a simple poly cylinder the easiest way is using uv map.

before you endeavor on any projects in Maya you really do need to read some starter books. I would highly recommend Maya Foundation . It's published by alias|wavefront and will tell you not only how to get the glass effect you are looking for but it will explain all the things every maya user should know.

Maya is not like photoshop. You can't just fool around with it till you 'get it'. You do need to be trained.

Good luck,

Kiaran
