[C4D] Wet Effect

This tutorial learn how to create wet effect using Proximal and Mograph's Tracer to accomplish the following effect

Step 1. Add a plane object you want to use wet effect into, then create an emitter (Objects > Particle > Emitter), make an object a child of the emitter (a sphere is suitable for now), use a metaball to achieve such as bubbling liquids

Step 2. In the Attributes Manager change the settings of the emitter, sphere and metaball object as the following

Emitter > Particle Tab

Emitter > Emitter Tab

Sphere > Object Tab

Metaball > Object Tab

Step 3. Add the Gravity (Objects > Particle > Gravity) and the Deflector (Objects > Particle > Deflector)

Step 4. Now select the metaball object and add a Tracer object from the Mograph menu

Step 5. Create a new material (name it 'Proximal'), set the Proximal effects to it's Luminance, Reflection and Bump channel. To make the proximal work you have to drag the Tracer in the object field

Note:
if you set it to generate Thinking Particles, create a TP Particle Geometry set the appropriate groups for the Trace link
