How To Create Moist Skin Shader?

[georgeou]

I created a toad for an animation film . The toad skin is wet and moist, how can I get a moist look over the toad skin!What texture mapping do i need?Thanks for guiding.

set your materials specularity very high

You could try using a layered shader, and have a transparent blinn layer over the top of your frog skin material. Map the specular colour and bump map channels with the same texture you've used for the bump on the frog's skin. The benefit would be you would have two levels of highlight to play with, which can help assist 'wet' look.

If you haven't got a bump/spec map, make a quick one by taking the frog skin texture into a photo editing package, desaturate it, adjust the contrast a bit for stronger white and black tones and paint black over any areas you want to stay flat, and perhaps add a bit of noise.

actualy id make the bump of the overlaying spec layer shallower then the bump of the underlying layar with wider filter so it will look like a second surface slightly on top!

Here's roughly a quick implementation of what has been said: Two blinn layers, topmost transparent bumpy and highly specular. Bottom one somewhat fakes subsurface scatter using incadescence maped via ramp shader. Bump maps of both layers are different giving it more visual complexity. I used procedural texures which is kinda lame because you can get much better result with painted ones ( or painted-procedural combination ). It'd aslo be good to apply a hdr reflection map for transparent layer giving it nicer specularity

Excellent example Failure, I especially liked the luminance map into the diffuse channel, I never would have thought of that.
