To create realistic glass cup you need two object: a glass cup and a box as floor. If you only create a glass cup without create other environment, you cannot see the glass because it need raytrace - refraction.

Follow these steps to create realistic 3d glass cup using 3ds Max.
#1. Open your Autodesk 3Ds Max software. Click on "Front View" and then create half of a cup using "Line". To use Line please click Create - Shapes - Line.



You need to create  create half of a cup like picture below.



#2. Use Modifier Lathe to make the shape into 3d model.


#3. Assign Lathe parameter: Check Weld Core, Segment=40 (higher is smoother), Align=Min.


#4. A 3D cup has been created, you can assign the size of the cup as you want.


#5. Create floor below a glass cup using box for environment. You cannot see the glass cup without environment so create it using a box.


#6. Create material for realistic 3d glass cup. Press M to show Material Editor dialog box. Click slot 1 and then give the slot name: glass. On rollout Blinn Basic Parameters, assign Ambient and Diffuse color to dark grey (almost black), Specullar level=120, Glosiness=20. Look at picture below for detail!


#7. On rollout Maps click Refraction, Amount=100, and click "None" button beside that.


#8. Choose Raytrace.


#9. Create floor material on slot 2 and give it name "floor". On Blinn Basic Parameters click button for Diffuse. Click that to browse map texture for floor material.


#10. Select the floor texture that you want.


#11. You can assign Tilling value on Coordinates rollout. Here I assign value to 2,0.


#12. Apply material color to the glass cup object. Click glass cup on Perspective view and then On Material Editor dialog box click slot 1 then click "Assign Material to Selection" button. Look picture below for detail!

#13. Do the same step like above (step #12). Apply material color to the floor object. Click floor on Perspective view and then On Material Editor dialog box click slot 2 then click "Assign Material to Selection" button. Look picture below for detail!
