I love the render feel..somehow the glass needs some work..not sure how I can suggest tho..I'm still a bit new to octane

Thanks 3rdeye. I used ready-made materials from octan Live DB. I also think that the glass is unrealistic but I have no skill to create my own material. I just wanted to check what is the progress in 23_4 octan and I'm amazed. Three months ago I'd be afraid to make a scene like that and and now it is possible. There are places where I used 3 layers of transparent material: glass, whiskey and ice and it's no problem for octan!

only 3 glasses? what where you thinking of? we are many more around! look really natural

I have update a picture: new studio and materials. What do you think?

[DayVids]

much better, though the bottle of Jack might be a bit dark ( I don't drink, so I don't know )

[FamilyGuy]

Thanks DayVids. I find a Reference picture in internet and you're right. Only once in my life I drank Jack Daniels. The next update will fix this.

Really great work there!

Try reducing the glass reflection. It will take away the white areas of them
and also play with a reflection map for the label so that the letter come up as a bit silver (although I don't know if that's the case with the real bottle, I got to go home and find out!)

[SurfingAlien]

very nice!
I'd follow Synthercat's suggestions for an even better shot

[FamilyGuy]

Thanks for the advice guys. I did all the things you said: original material of the bottle, reducing the glass reflection and reflection map for the label (it's hard to see). I also changed the colors and studio lights.
