Hi

[The Matt Hall] “Then offset the position of the duplicate layers, making each one ten pixels behind (in z space) the one in front of it.”

use this position expression to automate this process.

z_offset=3;
z=(index-1)*z_offset;
[value[0],value[1],z]

Zaxwerks invigorator is another option.

Hi
-First make your bottle between 90 to 100% transparent.
-Apply a reflectivity map to 100%
-Dupplicate your bottle making sure in the prefs menu that all duplication offset atributes are set to zero.
-Unlink your object style.
-Scale the duplicated bottle by one point to tell it apart from the original.

I followed the above instructions but after pressing OK on the Stats-Scale-options the duplicat gets back to
the import position,why???When i now reset the first objects position too,they still are offset.Offset attributes are set to zero!!!

Hi there

Thank you guys for your great tips i’ll try it out!
i have another question for you.
When i duplicate my custom edge object how can i assign now two different materials to them?
When assigning a material to only one of them, the duplicat automatically gets it too????

It works with primitives though.What’s the trick?

[Jon Okerstrom] “Assuming you’re applying an image map to the entire bottle”

No,but i’ll change that.I still would like to know the right aspect ratio of the map for the entire bottle.
