Creating a bottle?

[jmsbilly]

Can anyone tell me (or point me in the direction of a tutorial) how to create a bottle in illustrator...i would like the bottle to be 3D and have a glass look to it, but i cant find a way to accomplish this....

Thanks so much for every one who helps!!

Billy.

A 'glass look' involves refraction, an effect only available automatically in a 3D rendering app... or by tedious painting of a mesh in Illustrator.

That's some great taking-wind-out-of-the-sails dude... Jeeeez.

OF COURSE it's possible to make a refraction, in fact it's fairly easy, and there's nothing tedious about meshes, unless you're an unskilled hack.
