Title: Glass Beads Texture Gel?
Post by: Hammers on August 26, 2010, 10:05:57 AM

Has anyone tried using this to enhance rushing water effects?

I suspect its what they use in at Aardman Animations to mimic suds.

YES - although i used the liquitex brand and added different sized glass beads placed with tweezers too

details on how i did it are on my blog here. http://brandlin.blogspot.com/2009/10/do-you-think-hell-notice-final-pictures.html A MUCH bigger picture is available by clicking the picture on my blog.

I'd go with the glass beads. It's a bit fiddly to position them to look right on the water medium, and I imagine it will be even more difficult if they are already mixed into the goo already. Whenever I tried to move the beads around on my coast board, they left a groove in the acrylic which needed to covered up later. Might depend on what you want to achieve, though.
