glowing fluid?

[bindyeye]

What you want is to use a glow lume shader.
I suggest doing the liquid with a partical system, it'll be alot easier to control the animation.
Hope this helps...

I know what you mean but dude, let me say this!
I have _NO_ clue of how to do that :)

[Unraveled]

Personally I'd add the glow through video post.

[ErnoBoy]

and how do I do that :)

and how do I do that :)

Manual anyone?...

[ErnoBoy]

yeah of course, the manual. How could I not think of that *daah* :)

But a tut would not hurt :P

This has been covered many of times before.... do a search for glowing rods or something like that (the one I am thinking of has 3 glowing rods, a green one a red one and a blue one). It isn't a liquid, but the glow effect would be the exact same.

By the way, I am with UNRAVELED on this one, doing it in post would be the easiest for me.

thanks hazdaz, i will make post search now

The material is the easy part of your equation imo. You should be more concerned with getting the liquid created.

Glowing objects:

Video post / Effects
Change material effects id to 1 and add glow from Effects or Video post to that effect id.

Self-Illumination
Standard material with self-illumination, doesn't affect environment unless:

GI
Make standard material with self-illumination OR material with overbright diffuse color and then enable GI from your renderer.

The best choise is to use all above.
