Interesting challenge. Thought I would try my hand at it. I’m going for a ‘Benjamin Franklin’ type of scenario. I’ll be adding a kite later as well as other stuff.

About some references for real glassware visit www.aldrich.com… You can download their entire catalogue with also lots of image of glassware in lab.
The glasses where “steampunk” glasses so you can play it with bronze textures (www.cgtextures.com)

Please keep in mind it was real-time rendered in a videogame engine, not a major 3D app.

I everyone.

Maria, thank you. I’m not a expert on rigging, but I will try to make, at least, one other diferent rat.
The spider web was made from this image, from Google Images. I created the Lines then Sweep. I hope it was useful.

And here is a small update. I still concerned whith the “story/theme” of the challenge. So I still testing lights, shadows, positioning of objects,…
Software I used - 3D Studio Max and photoshop to textures.

There’s some good work here, great to see the different directions people are taking this.

here is my latest update , comments and critics welcome…:cool:!

#118

Hi Friends This is my last 2 hrs work on the scene. would love to have some C&C on it.

#119

All the entries are looking great. I’ve got another wip to post later on. That plasma globe gave me nightmares but I think I might have got it sorted out now.

There are some great renders so far.

@bimalbose: I really like the look of your liquids. They seem very realistic to me.

Thanks kanooshka for your advice! I tried to add some diffuse light, especially for that green goggle light. So here is my latest render:
