Has anyone seen a tutorial or have any tips for adding water droplets to objects in Bryce? (ie. condensation on a glass, etc.)

Flattened spheres/terrains (B5 & B4)... Metaballs if you have B5. Uhhh... Use a glass or water material to start with... Any more good suggestions?
Your friendly neighborhood Wings3D nut.
Also feel free to browse my freebies at ShareCG.
There might be something worth downloading.

I think someone has a free material that is rain on glass. Otherwise as paul suggest though it can be a pain to get the placement right.

Yeah, I've tried using metaballs, but it is a bit of a bitch to make 'em look right.

Metaballs work great for droplets hanging from the tips of leaves or grass, but condensation on glass is hard to make. Maybe a custom bumpmap and specularity-map would help create a texture with good results, but it will still be very difficult.

It's quite easy to get the placement of the droplets right: - Rotate the glass in a horizontal position - Drop the droplets only on the highest part (so the flat side is against the glass and does not havwe to be rotated) - Group them with the glass and rotate the glass like 10 degrees and start all over again with another 50 droplets. - So on till you have covered the whole glass.

There is a material in the free stuff called Wet Window Material at this link.... about half way down the page. Hope it is what you need.There are 10 kinds of people: Those who know binary, and those who don't.

That mat is really awesome. I have had it for a while and found it very useful.
Pass no temptation lightly by, for one never knows when it may pass again!

I have that MAT already. Maybe I'll give it another shot to see if I can make it do what I want. Thanx all!
