Currently working on "secrets". I want the bottles to be sealed with wax. Trying to use metablobs seems painful, but a liquid simulation seems overkill... But after a lot of frustration, I've gone with the latter. Making sure the 'viscosity' is ticked is important or it all just runs off ;) I start with a cylinder of 'wax' as a geometry flow object, just above the cork. After some trimming of the 'drips', and mindful the neck of the bottle is a terrible shape for this (too much overhang), I'm pretty pleased:
That cork texture makes me want to be sick into my mouth though.. So I'll clean that up, and try modelling some different bottle shapes.
Thoughts in car home:
- Liquids should look somewhat biological
- Could mess about with other spaces and materials too e.g. silver mirrored liquid, 'lumps' etc
- Initials and dates and/or places and dates
- Do not use real people or dates (life is too short and it's a shitty thing to do)
- Have some 'sets' of bottles e.g. 3 identical bottles with dates a few days apart
- Definitely embed everything in a bees nest, but where should it all sit? Shelves? A box? Something else?! Definitely meaning and interest to be had there too...
