Help need with 2 shaders (a Translucent Shader & a Thick-ish Liquid)

Turk_WLF

I’m trying to make a translucent shader similar to a Windshield Washer Reservoir
( http://blog.bavauto.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/1b1.jpg )
Also I need a reddish brown heavy or a thick liquid like Motor Oil or Syrup, I need I could start with Water but I’m not sure how to do the “thickness” look.

Thanks,

Probably under transparency. You'll want to try in-scattering and/or absorption. You can set colors in those channels to help drive the color. If I recall, a light color will drive a stronger effect and a darker color will be a less strong effect. Unless I'm remembering it backwards.

This shader tree should work for the liquids......just change the color in the transparency channel.
Below is a pick where I used yellow to make a honey look.

Color = black

Alpha = none

Highlight = value 32%

Shininess = value 51%

Bump = none

Reflection = fresnel term10%, Ray Depth 2, Max. attenuation 85%, Blurry reflections off
Reflection shader = value 11%

Transparency = fresnel term 10%, Ray Depth 4, Max. attenuation 85%
Transparency Intensity = color Yellow (or what color you wish)
Transparency Absorption = none
Transparency In-scattering = none

Refraction = material (other) value of 1.10

Glow = none

Subsurface Scattering = none

Translucency = none

Here's a list of IOR values...
