Yes, in fact the bottles *are* meshes and that is roughly how I did it 
in the picture. I used a plane for the intersection but a box would 
probably have been more efficient. Mesh will do CSG if an inside_vector 
is defined.  But the larger question was about the possibility of 
keeping the level of the ink physically accurate for a constant volume. 
  The ink bottle portrayed is a bottle for 'tusche' which is a heavy 
gloppy sort of ink, like India ink, and it does tend to dry and cake 
onto the inside of the bottle.  Because I am controlling the generation 
of the mesh in a loop anyway it should be possible to apply a procedural 
texture to just the interior part of the bottle and get something close.
