Liquid Glass Magnifier, a Substance 3D Designer Tool

It allows you to experiment and be creative while making liquid glass surfaces.

Dalibor Rajk, Texture Artist, shared on his ArtStation a breakdown of the Liquid Glass Magnifier, which is a tool "that creates hyper-realistic liquid glass with dynamic magnification and refraction effects." 

"I wanted to see if I could push the Pixel Processor to simulate thick liquid glass with proper magnification and refraction. It turned out to be surprisingly fun. So I decided to turn it into a playful little tool rather than a serious production node," said Rajk.

The artist also said that this tool can be used to experiment and play with parameters, creating hypnotic liquid glass surfaces with dynamic magnification, smooth distortion, and organic light bending. It's a tool that lets you be creative and explore the liquid glass texture. He gave a more detailed explanation of what you can do.

  • Lensing in Real-Time: At the core of the experience is Real-Time Optical Magnification. Instead of simply scattering pixels, the MAGNIFIER dynamically bends and shapes light to simulate how transparent objects behave in the physical world.
  • Procedural Brilliance: Experience the subtle interplay of Liquid Refraction and Caustics. As you move, the material beautifully refracts light and produces shimmering specular highlights, creating a lively, truly delightful experience.
  • Total Fluidity: You have full, nuanced control over the material's Thickness, Curvature, and Distortion. Whether you are simulating a delicate drop of water or a heavy, curved lens, the MAGNIFIER responds instantly to your input with impeccable polish.
