Adding contents to a polygon.

[master1818]

I'm trying to create a bucket to hold water and ice for drinks. I've already created the bucket using line then lathe modifier. I know how to customise the bucket using 'unwrap UVW' to stick the picture to the polygon (bucket). But how do I add water and ice to the bucket? I did think of using the same unwrap method but then it'll look unrealistic when it's rendered as a 3D model.

I would recommend modeling the ice.

Also...Make a plane for the water and use an A&D material. Make sure the rounder corners is on with "Blend with other materials" checked on.

I don't think I follow.

Model the ice. Do you mean create cube objects and modify them so that they look like ice?

For the water, from what I understand. Do you mean create a plane for the water with A&D and place the plane on top of the bucket (so it looks like the bucket is filled with natural water)?
