This is a very good tutorial–well laid out, clear directions–follow the steps and you will have a very nice coke bottle!

how nostalgic. I wonder which blender version was used for this very old tutorial.
But today, I would rather use a modifier to do it.

Anyway it cover some very useful basis.

@MrE: Try searching for "blender materials" on the web, or "Blender Material Repository". The latter is where people are encouraged to upload textures for use. Still not the resource that it could be, but maybe it could start you off at least. The other place to look is in the BlenderArtists forum, or ask a question if you can't find an existing thread.

Heh. I've done that type of stuff before. Clever but basic.

But for beginners, a very nice read.

@Carl: you're right, Carl. it would end up as a solid block. the way to fix that is when you're creating the shape with the curves, continue to shape the inside of the bottle. Stephen made the right choice in not adding that, 'cause it would confuse the example pictures alot with two layers of geometry. the principles still remain the same, though. you just have to make sure, when you're creating the ribs in the side, that you only scale the outside vertices, and not the inside. the inside should be smooth.

Did anyone notice that the result of the tutorial is different from what's provided in the blend file? After doing the tutorial, you have a solid brick of glass, whereas in the .blend (and in the example renders), you have a bottle. These must either be some steps missing or I'm again a complete idiot :)
