Whiskey and Smoke is a 48-page tutorial designed to take you through creating a scene and rendering out a final image using Daz Studio and Iray®. This tutorial is based on the main promo image and will walk you from the planning stages through postwork. The walk-through uses the included props, but can be done with anything you choose. Want flowers in a vase instead of a decanter? How about a cup of tea instead of a whiskey glass? Go for it! The tutorial still works.
Don't need a tutorial? Whiskey and Smoke also comes packaged as a complete product. You get a set of six different glasses, a 3-piece whiskey decanter and several material presets as well as an HDRI designed for those darker scenes.
Beginner to advanced user, Whiskey and Smoke has something you can use.

Here are the props - They can also be used with 3Delight. (Just add any shader you may already have that is 3Delight compatible.)
A very nice set indeed! I just had to play with it.
Now where did I put the Humidor .........
Nice. Thankyou!
Is the smoke postwork? Is working in Photoshop covered in the tutorial?
This, plus idiot's instructions for glass rendering with 3delight would be kindly appreciated.
[idiot solution edit: max ray trace depth is the key - had it set to zero to SIGNIFICANTLY speed up rendering time, but that doesn't work for glass]
