3D Mugs

I've been going through as many tutorials as possible in Rhino 3D. Sometimes the results make me giddy, as is the case here.

The tutorial I was working emphasized color, ambient light and reflectivity. Basically, it involved changing the surface values and transparencies so that you see the difference between, say, a milky, ceramic mug and one made of glass.

Here is the result of changing a couple of values. I had no idea my software was this cool. (Click for a closer view!)

And here's what happens when we lower the lights and change the light emission values on the mugs. Coffee, anyone?

Yeah, I know. It's just a bunch of mugs. But it's a bunch of mugs that I made in my computer! Trust me. This is all leading up to awesome stuff. Baby steps.
