And of course was my inspiration. Thanks Elle!

Any tips to get the right look for the texture/ bump?
As far as bump goes. Nearly everything will have some surface texture, unless it's highly polished steel or something. In C4D the noise effect can be very versatile. Play with the different modes to get something that might approach what you are looking for. Know the limitations of a bump map, and when you might want to think about using a displacement map if it's getting serious.
Also play around with the example materials that come with C4D, like how did they do things, you can learn a lot there.
Honestly I think that I've gotten a little lazy with my textures. It used to be that I would say it's my strongest area of 3D. But I've since really gotten into modeling, I enjoy doing detailed work there and after spending a lot of time on that I've found myself just slapping on some quick textures sort of thing.
One other thing about textures, is if you really want the best effects get into using image maps. A lot more work, with unwrapping and everything but it really causes you to pay a lot of attention to those details.
How long have you been working in 3D? You've done some interesting and nice work.
I've been working in 3D for about half a year to a year; I mostly taught myself and looked at a couple tutorials here and there. I try my best to remind myself of realism while working in C4D, but it's a bit hard to get that perfect look you want.
Thanks so much for your comment
But other than the glass, don't you just love it when a plan comes together like that. <3
