sorry for yet another 'looking for' thread...

has anyone come across a set of liquid materials/shaders? I'm particularly looking for ones which approximate to: beer, milk and muddy water...

Also, and this is quite an odd request, lol, I'm looking for a prop (esp morphing) that simulates some kind of 'sticky' goo stretched between two surfaces  - sort of the thing you'd get if you put something sticky between two objects and pulled them apart so that the bit in the middle thins and stretches (...lol, it's for a yucky alien type scene!)

thanks for any thoughts! :) :) :) :) :) :)

BagginsBill did water, the matmatic script  is on RuntimeDNA, if I remember correctly. As far as I know there is no milk shader, will be difficult to make, since it would need Sub Surface Scattering - Firefly does not have that.

About the sticky goo - I will model some weird stuff for you, it doesn't sound difficult. Give me an hour or so.... 

I recently downloaded a goo-like prop.. I wanna say it was from R'otica, but I can't remember off hand.

Not easy getting the morphs right today. Nevertheless I have a version ready for you. If you give me your email, I will mail it to you tomorrow.

Looks very cool! Thank you soooooooooooooooooo much! :) :) :) (I'll PM you my email in a mo...)

Thank you again! :)

I have used this texture effectively for seveal "aliens." It is not a seamless tile, but it produces interesting results. It is an original photo of mine, and I release it to anyone who can use it in anyway.

hey - thanks for the reply - it sounds very interesting - I'd love to have it, if that's possible?

that's really very cool - many thanks, it should be very useful!!! :)

*"- sort of the thing you'd get if you put something sticky between two objects and pulled them apart so that the bit in the middle thins and stretches"

Maybe Renderotica would be a good place to start looking. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

Just wanted to say a HUGE thanks to bantha for modeling the prop - it's absolutely fantastic!!! :)

Also, HUGE thanks to bagginsbill who's working on some simply superb liquid shaders - he has created ones for the milk and glass that are just perfect! :)

Thank you both soooooooooooooooooo much!!! :)

Glad when I can help. Can be found in Freestuff now.

I posted a glass+liquid prop there, with a milk shader in it. I may post more there in the future.

here is a "alien slime" texture I did some years ago :

I'm pretty sure what you may want is a prop?  Otherwise here is an example of Sticky Wetness, that I was able to add to this V3 Skin/Texture/Surface, with bagginsbill's Matmatic!

Thanks jenay and angelouscuitry, both the texture and shader set up look like they'll be very useful!!! :)

I actually tried running matmatic (in poser 7) - but  get a 'Bad magic number' error - and I've no idea what that is...

bagginsbill will be along, to explain any problems with Matmatic.  Matmtic is really where you wan to do your editing, as it's Wetness script is where you will edit the Frequency, Size, and Depth of the Droplets. 

But meanwhile, if you're inerested in the Material Room file I used, I've found the thread I first started to develop this render with, here.

Thanks - that's going to be very useful :)

Bad Magic number is because you need to run the version that is compiled for Poser 7.

They changed the version. I had to recompile and redistribute.

Go to this thread:

And then scroll down to post #6. That's where I posted the working Matmatic for P7.

After starting to play with the morphs in combinations, I realized that I can almost get to a wine-glass or other stemware with just a couple more transformations. After a couple more iterations, I'll have a single prop that can become any type of glass, tumbler, shot glass, martini glass, wine glass, or goblet. It also morphs into bowls pretty nicely already. It would be a simple trick to make it into a plate. Anything that's round.

If you look closely, you'll see that one of them has a cut glass effect. Poser isn't rendering that too well. I'll figure it out. Once I get that dealt with, I'll add a bunch of other cut glass morphs.

fantastic!!! thanks for the info and link :) The morphs look amazing!!! :)
