just so i am crystal clear on this.... it can be anything made out of glass? If so I must reflect upon this...

Hmmm, I can see right through you. :p

[DigitalOrigami]

BUMP!!!


Updated the rules so everything is crystal clear!

[DELTA]

Does that glass HAVE to be like that clear white color or can it be colored glass? (runs fast) Can you out run a glass bullet?:p

[Tenement 01]

Glass dismissed!

The first person to make a glass Trek or B5 ship gets a special prize. Not a good prize, but certainly special.

Congrats Delta, Prophecy was always my choice for a dumb, but sturdy assault ship :) And your pic is really creative :D

[DELTA]

Thanks guys. I was surprised how easy the effect was to achieve.

[The Axeman]

Does it have to be glass, what about ice or water for the cause of the caustics? I love that word. :)

Anything that would have properties like glass.. Reflective water, Ice, mirrors things like that all fit in to this IDEA...

That's very cool. :)

Here's mine. The bottle is mine. The label is clipped from a product image of the real liquor - I couldn't figure out how to put a label of my own on the bottle before rendering it, so I ended up adding one after. The image of Bill Murray is a screen capture from the movie "Lost In Translation." I didn't actually know there was a real Suntory whiskey until I went looking for images from the movie online. Not quite what I had in mind, but given the limitations of time and my knowledge, I'm actually quite happy with it.
