Creating a realistic liquid material

Liquid material

Main parameters:

• Diffuse color set to black
• Reflection color set to light grey, light red tint
• Transmission color set to red
• Transmission scattering color set to dark red
• Transmission scattering scale set to 0.01 (units in cm)
• Fresnel enabled
• Double sided
• IOR set to 1.8

This setup uses RED::IMaterial::SetupRealisticMaterial to produce a liquid material. The main difference compared to a transparent material is that we'll use the transmission scattering to attenuate the transparency of the material along with the distance crossed in it.
