ABSTRACT
Introduction I was originally going to include a tutorial on how to make a glass of water, then I thought ‘what is exciting about that?’ And it’s true; we’ve got virtually everything we need built right into 3ds max to make a simple glass of water. Aaaaaahh, but what if you want the water to be lemonade? What is so interesting about that? Well, the bubbles are; the way they travel and react with the surface, the way they are formed on the bottom and from weird traveling single spots suspended in the liquid. This can result in quite a challenging particle system to set up. Okay, technically this tutorial should really be in the Air section as it’s about creating bubbles of gas, but we’re going to be adding the (basic) materials to the glass and the liquid. So open a bottle of supermarket’s own brand, and let’s get started.
