Cinema 4D Setup Breakdown/ Whiskey Bottle and Glass by Matt Beckham

Found via http://lesterbanks.com/. Check out this excellent studio shot breakdown by Matt Beckham which uses an interesting approach to lighting. “I started working on this scene with a different approach than I’ve taken with studio-style glass renders in the past. My glass shader was almost devoid of any specularity, and I opted out of using any actual area lights around the bottle. Instead I setup a series of bounce cards one-by-one with Global Illumination on. The material applied was 100% in the luminance channel. This gave me a much cleaner reflection and with less glare.”
