Wet skin

[fallen21]

Hello,

Sometimes i'm looking for wet skin style, currently the one way i've found is playing with the specularity but it's clearly not the better result.
Someone know how to "fake" the wet style on a character (i use V4) or any objects ?

Thank you.

It would be worth checking the gallery - I'm sure someone has done a "wet" material at some point to give an idea how it could be done. Also, check the LiveDB just in case there is already a material in there. If you want wet without the drops, it would be a specular setting, mixing specular color, roughness and bump amount. If you want the drops too you would need some sort of "drop" texturemap.

Use a wet map on the roughness node. Normally it should do it, that's how I do sweat & tears.

Thanks, i will try to add it!

This is what I got by using a marble node on the roughness. An actual texture map would probably be more effective in controlling where the wet spots appear. And I'm pretty sure I would get weird results if I tried to animate these. lol (sorry about the large image)

The second image has the transform/x-scale of the marble node higher than the rest to make it look more like drops.

Oh wow - they are fantastic!

Looks very interesting, just need some drops .

Excellent, thank you ThetaGraphics !

I hate to trouble you ThetaGraphics... but could you show a screen shot of the skin setup on that image? I have been doing lots of experimenting and not getting similar results... possibly my light setup. Help would be appreciated!

I've tried messing with the roughness setting using marble and just not had as decent results. If anybody has a nifty way to make wet looking skin in Octane, that'd be neat!
