Creating a Realistic Liquid Material

../../../_images/material_liquid.png — **Liquid material**

Main parameters:

Diffuse color set to black

Reflection color set to light grey, light red tint

Transmission color set to red

Transmission scattering color set to dark red

Transmission scattering scale set to 0.01 (units in cm)

Fresnel enabled

Double sided

IOR set to 1.8

This setup uses RED::IMaterial::SetupRealisticMaterial to produce a liquid material. The main difference compared to a transparent material is that we’ll use the transmission scattering to attenuate the transparency of the material along with the distance crossed in it.
