Water (or any other liquid) drops and trails on a surface
Hi everybody!
Well, my question is pretty simple: What is the best (not easy) method to achieve the look of (animated) drops falling along a surface? The kind of phenomena you can see on a very cold soda can after taking it out of the freezer on a hot summer day.
Could that be made with texture shaders? Or that implies the use of some kind of fluid dynamics?
I appreciate your information and thank you for any kind of help. -

Of Course the easy way would be “PlaceOnPints2” .
Create a can with a Lathe-Nurbs call it “Can”,
copy the can and call it “Drops”.
Crate a Water Drop Texture with Colour, Transparency, Bump, Alpha
and maybe Displacement.
Put a Water- or if you like experiment with a Noise shader in these channels and play the settings
you like best.
With the Texture Axis animate the Offset (X).
You might have to scale down the “Can-Nurbs” a little
to see the drops.Cheers
