Glowing Jelly

[Phaeton]

Can`t belive nobody knows how to do that! Is it too hard and complex?

Textures achieve that "wet" look through specularity mapping. Unfortunatley I cannot give you any insight on this as I have pretty much no practical experience with the technique, but it is a place to start.

As for glowing, you could experiment with video post glows, but rather than applying it to the slime object's geometry try applying a video post Flare to an omni light positioned within the slime. When used with a properly setup shader, or some kind of translucency it should shine through pretty nicely.

Hope that helps or at least gives you a place to start.

I don't know max, but in Maya, if I was doing Predator's blood, I would apply a bright green color to the incandecense channel, and make the base color almost black.

some sort of self-illumination?

Yes, but with specular highlights. Glowing from inside liquid. I have made something like that using radiosity and "architectural materials" with illumination... Effect is... somethig near, but it is not transparent liqud/jelly. I mean it desn`t refract :(.
