I've been playing around in the material room trying to come up with a decent wet effect. I'm not actually happy with this render but believe the effect is just close to what I was trying to achive. Thanks to Nance, Kiera, and others, for tips that pointed me in this direction. In the end, it actually turned out to be rather simple. - Add noise to gradient bump, set to 0.1 to 0.15 - Specular color to grey (RGB = 115, 115, 115)

Looking good :)

Except for the Amazing Gravity-Defying Boobs, that's quite good ;)

I recently used a combination of displacement mapping, specular highlights, and reflection mapping to create "water droplets".

Only the rain is postwork.

LD, Is it possible to post your displacement map here? (or a small part of it) I'm having a hard time visualizing how it should look to do the drops.

The displacement map was simply a random splattering of small white spots on a black background. I used VDL's [free Snowflake filter](http://www.v-d-l.com/) in Paint Shop Pro to create the map. I plugged the same map into the Highlight_Value and Reflection_Value channels.

I've recreated the settings in Poser and taken a snapshot, which is posted above. This time, it was Victoria's turn to get wet.

I used a relatively small displacement map and tiled it by adjusting the U_Scale and V_Scale values. Leave the Displacement strength at a low setting like 0.2. For reflections and highlights, the map acts as a mask; the effects only appear on the displaced spots.

Correction ... that should read "I plugged the same map into the Specular_Value and Reflection_Value channels."

My apologies.

Thanks LD! That's more than I asked for but much appreciated!
