Hi!

I had made this bottle with water drops but the drops on the both sides look so strange.

Drops shader with IOR 1.200 with fake shadow.

How can I make this more realistic?

yep what he said.

Also, can you do a high res render of a section so we can see the edge drops better? Right now the image is too low res to really see what's happening

I try the settings like MaTtY631990 said.

Here high res.

for those edge drops, are you talking about how some are showing up darker than others? I think it could just be a lighting setup issue honestly. some of them might be refracting the bright areas of the background and some might be refracting the the more shadowed area. I usually run into this issue as well when doing my water drops and haven't been able to fully pinpoint the issue but that's as best as i've been able to guess. I just end up fixing that in photoshop instead of futz around with it. what is your specular depth setting?

also, just a tip, unless there's a specific reason of having water drops on the back side of the bottle, I would remove those; they just create unnecessary visual complexity in your render. in real product photography, they generally would not have condensation on the back side of bottle and sometimes they even spray the back of the bottle with a matte clearcoat to help diffuse and soften the light coming through.

actually, looking at this again (i thought you had another post on this topic too, with image examples, but I couldn't find it) I better see the issue you are having. did you get this resolved?

want to post your file and i'll look at it? I've been testing water drops the past couple days so I'll see if I can see what's going on. I'm in Maya, so if you aren't working in maya, I guess export it so I can open it in standalone
