| Hi, all,
I think this really turned out good. This was an experiment using the "video" feature of iClone 4 PRO (a great proggie, btw...I've had no problems thus far).
Using video of rain falling down a window pane, I was able to make that the "water dripping down skin/hair/clothing" element for this "wetlook" shot.
I used the character AstroGirl, which is a Supergirl clone (played by the lovely Delcea Mihaela Gabriella for Zen Pictures).
First, I started with a dry AstroGirl, who gets shot by a mysterious blaster bolt. When she emerges from the water, I use the wet AstroGirl, who now has the video of the raindrops blended onto her skin (upper, lower, and face) and her coverings (sexy whole, hair). When using video of this nature in the "blend" function, make sure you use the "overlay" bullet so that you can blend the rain with her skintone. (Use "strength" to make the raindrops more or less prominent.) When "blend"ing the video with her clothes, use "overlay" but you might want to tone down the strength just a little. (I also used some particle effects to have water splashing off of her momentarily....and that effect was cannibalized from the "water hose" available at Backstage.) There are two sets of underwater bubbles as well. The ambient bubbles, and the bubbles from her exhaling.
Anyhoo...there's no audio to this....but I hope you like what I did.

| Thank you all. However, to be sure, I cannot claim originality to this idea. There is another poster here who thought outside the box before I did, and he demonstrated in his clip how video could be utilized on character skin/clothing. I just took it in a different direction. 
Humbly and appreciatively,
