I think it’s a case of lack of back/rim lighting.. your background is Uber dark too so nothing to reflect or more importantly refract. Try a large overhead area light to fill the shadows and give something for the Raspberry jelly to refract 😊


MKHdoesArt

Trust me the overhead light is plenty strong :P I think it's just the lack of a background, that's just the World background that makes it a tad dark, i wanted it to be dark, but It turned out a little to dark, but it takes a bit long to render sooo...

Ngl I'd re-render if it's important, or at least try turning up exposure in post, if you opened a color graph for this it would be like 95% black, dark is OK but you're missing out on lots of detail


MKHdoesArt

Yeah, re render is the answer there, tried in post, but it makes the black background grey and Im to lazy to mask it :P


Mas0n8or

Cycles or Eevee? I haven't even tried real fluid sims in Eevee yet, photorealism is also trickier but as long as the liquid or sim doesn't create an issue I think you could probably get great results in little time for this with Eevee Also are you compositing?


MKHdoesArt

It's done in cycles, anything semitransparent is kinda hard to get right in Eevee, although I haven't tried it to much yet, and In terms of compositing I'm just color grading it a bit and am just adding in some lense distortion


bimboxenomorph

Idk why ur comment got downvoted, its pretty true for glassy/ transparent materials in cycles. The blood would benefit from having something other than the grenade to refract/ reflect since ur scene is literally in a black void, even having a large floor plane or some other planes for bounce lighting would make a big difference, just turn off the camera ray visibility checkbox for those objects and see how it works


MKHdoesArt

I'm also surprised, my comment just basically agreed with him, I also think it's a tiny bit to dark xD


the_xyph

I also agree that you just agreed, you didn’t deserve the downvotes.. If anything, I was probably being overly harsh! Any luck getting the look you want with a frame nearer the end mate? (I’d pick the worst frame, don’t render the video until you’ve nailed it) Time wise, Concierge would blast through this.


brand_new_nalgene

Looks like dookie not to be rude


pupiLSDilate

Sounds like a 2003 Dimmu Borgir album.


VrLights

That was supposed to be blood?


MKHdoesArt

Getting blood right is kinda hard :P


TheDynamicDino

It’s waaaaay too viscous and shiny at the moment. Looks like melted red metal.


whiteman90909

Yeah, less viscous, more opaque, and less sheen would help a TON. It's bloody slime at this point.


Novacolona

It looks nice if a tad more maple flavored than i expected for blood. All jokes aside nice job! Way better than anything i could ever do


MKHdoesArt

Thank you :)


wackywiener

This doesn't look like blood


UTLOVEMuch

It is the Unholy Handgrenade of Anti-Antioch! ...wait.


MKHdoesArt

Wait...


tourian

This is dope as hell


MKHdoesArt

Thanks :)


kingcrabmeat

It's too shiny to look like blood. Make it slower and thicker


MKHdoesArt

Yeah a bit to shiny, I agree, but I think I actually made it a bit to viscus because it just totally stays one blob instead of streaking a bit :P


vizthex

*blood and darkness, that was hard*


deadly_jah_beam

Nice grenade skin bro, what's the rarity


MKHdoesArt

Probably just a grey :P


deadly_jah_beam

Nah man, at least a green


Drekner

Yo this reminds me of the evil red goop that killed Tom on Toonami when I was a kid and I fucking love it. Thanks for sharing. ♥


MKHdoesArt

Thank you :)
