Hi,
I'm fairly new to Lightwave and I'm currently using it to create some 3D visuals of promotional Beer Cans a client of ours might want to produce.
My problem is this, after creating the can model from scratch and providing them with a nice rendered image, they've asked for us to now produce an alternative covered in water droplets. Just picture an ice cold beer that's been out the fridge for a couple of minutes and you get the idea!
Now, as nice a thought as that is, I'm completely lost as to how to create this effect in Lightwave. My problem is not how to create water droplets as I could always use Eye Candy in photoshop to give me loads of these. It's how to get them onto my can model and render a realistic looking image for our client.
Is this possible and if so how would I go about doing it? I've attached a small photo of the kind of effect I'm looking to achieve and I'd really appreciate any help on this!!
Many thanks - Chris
