Crown Royal 1 Liter

My first venture using Modo 701. This image was a personal project to learn modeling and rendering. Illustrator & Photoshop were used to create the iconic label, as well as assets for the cap and "ribs" of the bottle & drinking glass. Displacement Maps were used for the cap, ribs and embossed elements of the label. For more info, please visit this Modo thread: 
Closeup of the cap. Displacements were used for the intricate details.
Closeup of the label. Displacements were used for the embossed elements.
Final wireframes of the bottle.The geometry contains no "ribs" and no bottom base grips, both of which are created using displacements.
Ribs: in Modo I modeled these tubes using Constrain to Background. With UV mapping, they're baked to a 16-bit image, blurred and manipulated in Photoshop. The result is brought back to Modo and used as a displacement map.
Test render to see how the modeling of the glass is coming along.
This is the final geometry of the cap, which is only the base shape and studs. The rest is displacements, see below.
The detail elements of the cap were created in Illustrator and blurred in Photoshop. The different values of gray pixels determines the magnitude of the displacement. The bottom right image is a mask for a Modo procedural displacement texture.
The drinking glass was created in the same way as the bottle and cap. What you see above is the final geometry—any detail on the surface is accomplished with displacements.
Modo's Fur was used for the details inside the ice cubes.
