Slimy Shader problem

onionhead_o · Sep 2009

Ive been trying to use different methods to recreate a shader that looks like the murky web stuff in this pic but was unsuccessful.

Anyone know the methods or sites that would help?

surely all you need is a bright specular with a high gloss (exponent) value?

As Mop said should get you close, but you need to think about the lighting as well, not just the material settings.

This is true - and obviously good normals will help too (zbrush some stringy things, bake them down to alpha planes maybe).

I agree with MoP. Do you have any examples you can show us of what you have attempted so far? that's an awsome image btw, so much so, I saved it to my inspiration folder.

If you need to do this with transparency, you could just do an environment map reflection with a high power as well (since your engine probably does not support lit translucency).

it was a max render. might plan to take it to unreal later on.

You might want to try an anisotropic shader on this, to get nice long highlights. See if you can find a decent hair shader maybe?
