how to acheve this effect....outer bubble effect

[mdi]

Hi All,

anyone got any ideas on how to get this effect in Vray, basicly I need to create this rim effect around the top of the bubble though the plastic, that almost black circle....any ideas?

[werticus]

does it need to animate?

because if not id just made a semi transparent ring shape under there and fake it.

its not going to be animated, but there are going to be 3 versions with each version the bubble will be a different shape.

I could try adding a renderable spline around the edge of the bubble, that might work. Though it would be cool if there was a correct way to do it

this ring comes from the form of the liquid in the inside , that hmm how to say in english,

is rounded to the top.

i would cut your object and moddel by hand.

its the same as with a glass of whine... you also would have to turn on fog color.. in this ring, the light travels a longer way throu your liquid, cause the rounded geometry forces the light to go to the side. and due to the longer way throu your "fog", the light gets darker..
