Elephant Glass

Just cuz, I decided to render out my elephant teapot out of glass and a more simple ceramic. No real reason really, other than I wanted to know how to render glass and simple ceramic better. There’s a nifty little vid of it below.

    if i had this i would drink tea every day. (i would also put egg drop soup in it so it sometimes looked like he had a bad cold when I poured it out.)

    Whoa! That’s sweet! Loving the glass texture.

    He seems to be saying, “What are you lookin’ at?” in a somewhat worried tone.

    Lee Ann and Doug, minestrone wouldn’t be much better really.

    Marion, ha, thanks! It’s all just caustic photons and refractions really. :)

    Jimi, thanks! That’s the expression I see in the mirror every day.

    I drink tea almost everyday anyway. And I love the teapot I already own. And I’m trying to stop buying more stuff.

    But I’d buy this in a heartbeat if it was actually available.

    Tyson, I hope some day to figure out a way to make these things, thanks for the encouragment.

    Colleen, Hey thanks! If I hadn’t had to monkey with caustics for class I probably never would have tried this. :)

    Hey thanks Cristina, it took me a bit to get the look just right. And I just noticed an upside down smiley face in the reflection, well whattya know.

    That is the most awesome thing I’ve seen! There it is – the perfect Christmas Gift! Ho, I’d buy it in a second. A Glass Elephant รก la Bryan. You should definitely get it made for real.
