Hi,
there are plenty of cooking receipes about how to make those liquid
shiny buttons for web pages with graphic programs like photoshop or
gimp, but all of them are, although some of the are looking quite good,
sort of fake, e.g. the shape of reflections arbitrary and unrealistic.
I wonder whether there is a receipe of how to create them more realistic
with povray (and whether 'realistic' is really better). I am just a
beginner and did not yet manage to get that liquid effect properly.
Maybe a reason is that these web page buttons are little bit too far
from reality?
regards
Hadmut

Maybe this can be of help:
Look in p.b.i. for the post by Dave Blandston (19 january 2007): Play,
Pause, Stop, etc. Buttons
I looked this up in my newsreader, so I have no link to offer, sorry.

Well, yeah, that's some point to start at, except that it is not glossy
(except for that strange magnifier button).
Creating these glossy buttons seems to take some sort of bubble of
anything with the photons parameter and to fiddle around until it looks
as expected...

Remember when using shiny objects you must have something else in the scene
to see the reflection.

That is exactly it. Don't focus so much on the button, its just a few
transparent primitives with a reflective finish. You want to give it
something interesting to reflect. Try using some HDRI maps on a sphere
that encompasses your scene.

Do you have a reference image of the exact type of look you want?
