Looks pretty cool. The reflection makes it seems as if the glass has somekind of top on it.

apart from the top of the glass the model looks good. A few suggestions - the texture you have used for mapping looks like no drink i have seen, and the liquid in the cup looks like its plastic.

good stuff.

I’m not too fond of ‘glass’ or ‘chromeball’ renders as they lack focus… Try adding extra objects to the scene.

And you might want to tone done the reflectiveness/incidence angle of the glass… Looks too perfect.

yup it’s not prefect. I spent 15min on it :). I’ll go back some time and fix the errors.
