A Liquid Layer is a unique layer that adds the effect of a liquid to your Mix. Its controls allow for easy manipulation of liquid properties to create interesting results.
Layer Properties
A Liquid Layer has the following properties:
- Mask
- Reflectance
- Surface
- Turbidity
- Moist
- Custom Export Channels
1. Mask
- Opacity: Control the transparency of the liquid layer.
2. Reflectance
- Adjust the reflectance values of the liquid layer.
3. Surface
- Threshold: Adjust the vertical displacement of the liquid layer.
- Radius: Control the tightness or fall-off of the liquid at the points of displacement intersection.
- Detail: Control how much of the surface’s detail to reflect.
4. Turbidity
- Surface: Control the murkiness of the liquid at the surface.
- Depth: Control the murkiness of the liquid, starting at the lowest part of the surface.
5. Moist
- Threshold: Adjust the vertical displacement of the moisture.
- Radius: Control the tightness or fall-off of the moisture.
- Blur: Control the amount of blur on the moisture.
- Roughness Offset: Set the offset of the moisture’s gloss.
- Darken: Adjust the darkness of the moisture and the water.
4. Custom Export Channel
