How to make hair look wet

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Can someone tell me how to make hair look wet?

1) Take any hair product in the DAZ 3D Store.

2) Convert it to iRay if it isn't RSL format already.

3) Now what do I do to make it look wet. Drenched wet, although dripping water and such isn't possibly just adjusting shader settings how to adjust those setting to make hair look drenched wet?

Thanks.

    The trouble is you don't just need surface changes (darker and shinier) but you also need to clump the strands, via the maps and/or the mesh, and have the hair cling more closely to the skin.

    I am an enormous fan of this: https://www.daz3d.com/short-wet-hair-for-genesis-8-male-s-and-female-s  because you not only get hair models for G8M and G8F, geometry shells to give the characters a dripping wet look, and styles for the hair, you also get shaders for applying to other hair...  The geometry shells include both with and without gens.  All in all, a product with a lot of stuff.

    Thanks, I'll buy that.
