Heya!
And yeah I have a small amount of blender experience and because of that I wanted to try the assignment in a different way that still applied what was being taught in the lecture in a different way(e.g.; the candles could be seen as miniature barrels). Plus there were a couple things I wanted to learn while doing this.
The puddle was done using the liquid partial system and a lot of “wait wot?” while following along with a YouTube tutorial. One puddle I did on the floor on it’s own, then I created a block which I applied a second simulation and fiddled around until one side had that awful goo feel I wanted. I didn’t quite get to where I wanted, but the Amnesia-esq goo was good enough.
I hope this helps!
