"Okay, let's add some lighting effects now to our next. Now we're going to do is we're going to come up to our liquid here and we're going to just select it, like I've done here. Just hit command and then select on the inside of our window here. And let's, let's see render, lighting effects. That's going to be pretty good. Let's take our spotlight and let's see if we can get it at a 90 degree angle like so. And set this over the top. There we go. See if we can make this, yes, there we go, let's widen this out, really wide. There we go. Everything looks pretty good here. Let's actually take our negative out a little bit out to full. There we go, something along these lines. Let's say, let's change this to zero, let's change our negative to, say, say around nine. There we go. Material one hundred, exposure, zero. There we go. Now let's take our white all the way up to mountainous, so we're going to use our texture channel as our blue copy of our alpha channel that we created here. As we can see here, this isn't quite working the way I want to. Let's hit okay, this should be fine. There we go. Now we've got a lot going on here, we've got a nice little texture going on here like so. And what we're going to do is we'll pause here and we'll pick this up in the next part."
