Realistic 3D Oil Bottle

3D renders done for Cousa's cooking oils.

This project had two particular challenges:

a) The bottle's characteristic shape: this was achieved by modeling a traditional bottle, and then twisting the upper half with the help of a Twist modifier.

b) The oil shader used for the bottle: this was accomplished by creating a shiny material which reflects an HDRI image taken inside a kitchen, simulating liquid inside the bottle without having to actually use transparent materials.

Modeled and rendered in 3ds Max + Vray, composed in After Effects.
