I try to make a realistic Look of wet Skin, but the results are not the best. Can someone help me with this?

I do that on post work in Photoshop. I use the Plastic wrap filter, when the hardness dial is very low.

Thanks for this Link, i think that's a good and easy way to create wet skins.

RuntimeDNA has some MAT files in their free section that will do the wet look for you. Ton'als I think is the name of it...?

Don't forget to apply bubbles, they are in my freestuff. :)

If it gets too wet, you can always use ernyoka's morphing Kleenex she just showed in a recent thread ;-)

At www.runtimedna.com free section - look for "Ironbear's essential" - wet looks is one of the mat settings available in it/them. You'll have to browse thru the free section to find it, but there's all kinds of goodies you'll see along the way. :)

The short version: Choose a medium grey as a highlight color for all the skin and then change the highlight percentage according to how wet you want it to look. ;)

That MAT works pretty good!

Have you seen this pic by Syyd Raven? The best looking wet skin I've seen. It's a pose render with no postwork. Any idea how it's done? All I can think of is either a combination of a very good bump map and highlight colour, or the reflections are on the texture map, it'd be a pig to try and get the lighting to match the highlights though! If anyone can reveal the likely technique I'd love to hear it!

All Poser, no postwork for sweat, using the method I described above.

Dang Kiera, that is gorgeous!! What were your settings for her top? trans, refl and highlight? :] FishNose

BazC, Syyd's image is done using a tex for Vicki with wet skin - in other words, the model was wet when she was photographed for creating the tex. The tex package is called Beach Baby, sold at RDNA. I guess I'm going to have to buy it... :] FishNose

Kiera, I am really interested how you did her top.

BazC posted Tue, 13 August 2002 at 4:50 PM

Aahh, Thanks Fishnose, it does look a fantastic texture but I wonder if you need to get the lights just right to match the reflections. I'd be interested to know how you get on with it! Baz

The top is partially set as transparent (about 60% if I recall correctly) and there is a grey highlight color, set to about 75%. That's it. No reflection map.
