How would I go about creating rocks with a wet look? I've been trying, but failed so far. Even some of the material I've got in my library that are supposed to give me a wet rock look, don't look wet at all? Any help would be great!

Due to the childish TOS changes, I'm not allowed to link to my other products outside of Rendo anymore :(

Food for thought.....

I usually do this in one of two ways:

  • Simply increasing highlights to your taste (100/75 is a good start)

  • add a material layer of varnish (in "Material Layers") to the rock material. Set "add to underlaying layer bump" to 60% or so. Set refractive index to 1.33, transparency to ~95% and tweak from there.
