Please help creating a texture.

I don't know if it's possible to make this texture but I would appreciate somebody trying.

It's been driving me crazy. It's probably really easy.

Thank you toe_head2001. I will try that one. It has to be somewhat clear but I will see what I can do.

You can build such texture by adding some half transparent layers filled by plugin "Random Shape Fill" (only white circles, then edited by "Object Bevel" and "Wobble") and a mid grey background.

 

That's the look:

 

And if you take a second similar image, invert the colors and overblend both half transparent, it looks like that:

This tutorial doesn't have the same texture as your example picture, but you still might like it, or learn a thing or two from it.

Iron67 and Cc4FuzzyHuggles I thank you very much. I think with all your suggestions

I will be able to finish my project without too much trouble.

I may be able to offer some useful suggestions, but I need to know more what you want to achieve. For example (and perhaps primarily), do you want to have an identifiable image behind the watery texture, or do you just want the general impression of light and dark areas?

[Woodsy]

It's just a glass of liquid with ice in it, but I want it to look realistic with the condensation on it.

Thank you very much MJW for the response. I think right now I have enough ideas to play with.

I didn't expect such good ideas so quickly.

In the water-drop tutorials using Random Shape Fill, it's interesting to substitute TR's Custom Random Filler with some drip-like shapes in place of the circles. I suggest some round shapes along with some more teardrop-shaped drips, all against a transparent background. Make sure the rotation keeps the drops dripping downward, but with a bit of variation, and that there's some range to the shrinkage for variety. Round shapes are probably best for the smaller drops, and the teardrop shapes for the larger drops, since gravity overcomes surface tension as the size increases.

Thanks MJW, I think I may be able to start by combining the first suggestions I received and finish it up with your's.

I was trying to do something original. I didn't even consider the obvious choices.
