Hi all!

I made a model of a glass, and I'd like a bunch of them in a picture with different amount of wine in them. First I figured I have to make a separate mesh for the actual fluid and place inside each glass. Meaning I'd have to create a mesh for each glass since I want different amount in them.

That would work but I figured there must be an easier way. For a while I was thinking of creating a particle emitter for each glass, filling them up with metalballs that would create an illusion of wine. And then render some frame after each glass is filled to various amount. But this doesnt actually sound easier.

Is there some smart way of creating fluid inside a glass in Carrara? I mean, other than create the shape by hand?
