Can someone repost the "liquid look"?

[Gary David Bouton]

About a week ago, someone here posted a wonderful, visual tutorial on how to create a liquid, shiny effect using XARA X.

Me, myself, I'd like to snag the tutorial and learn from it, but I'd also like to post it on the 3D forum (I moderate it) to show the possibilities of 2D looking like 3D. A few modeling people have this hang up about using XARA for 3D.

Hopefully, this attachment proves that I haven't this hang up. A lot of fractal shading...

Kindest Regards,

Free education! The Writings Web site
and the updated GaryWorld Gallery is pretty okay, too.

Hello Gary D. Bouton,

I think perhaps you have thought to my tutorial about a kind of "metaballs" in Xara X I have posted some times ago:

blobs technique

I think this is well adapted to liquids but also to organic shapes. Hope this may be helpful.

Kind regards,

ivan

And of course many thanks to Judi (I didn't check her URL before posting...!)

Thanks Ivan and Judy--

Yep, that was the post. I snagged it as an mht file. Do you mind if I present this to the 3D forum?

It would certainly get people thinking about lighting!

Warm regards,

Hi Gary! That's so fast!

Thanks, and of course You may publish my post in the 3D forum. I will check this forum and reply to any question if you are interested. I discovered some other extremely interesting tricks these days about this technique and I will post them here probably in some hours.

Regards,

ivan

A 3D like liquid superposed to a "stucco" brush.
