Did you know?
Making glass in-world is incredibly difficult, the glass must reflect something in order to be convincing, also it must have some completely opaque features (normally hard light reflections) and very transparent parts (reflections of a dark part of the environment).
On top of that challenge you need to somehow deal with the alpha bug (that bug that makes semi transparent things to flicker and appear in front of another part of the object when it should be at the back).
My Orange Juice set deals with all that using tricks I discovered while I did this object, for example to prevent the alpha bug you need to have two separate pieces, the inner part and the outer shell, if you make it one piece it will have the z-bug.
Of course I added an empty set (not OJ) for decoration too and it's a giver: it'll deliver a refreshing OJ glass to whom clicks on it =D
Happy Tuesday!

It's a little bit more complicated than that =) if you look carefully all the textures has the colour of the liquid, it even reflects on the tray, that was originally the reason why I made a transparent set for the box. If I add a lemon slice I need to make it reflect on the glass and the ice cubes too, it's the nature/curse of transparent and shiny things, they mirror everything lol
