the functions are just the ones from school, just many of them summed up and in different scales ;-)
oh, and the foam is actually an illusion. in thin layers (like in the wave crowns) the light gets reflected/refracted multiple times in the same region, which leads to a more random light diffusion in those regions. i was surprised myself by that effect! ...that doesn't mean real waves cannot have foam additionally ;-)

yup! but "its rendered" is not really "getting deeper into that" ;-)

hmm ok, why not, let me try... its basically "ray tracing/ray marching/path tracing": first i'm defining the glass and the whiskey surfaces as mathematical functions (actually distance appoximation functions). then for each pixel i step from eye position into the direction of the pixel into scene until i hit a surface. on a surface with a certain probability (fresnel equations) the viewing ray gets reflected/refracted from the surface and walks along. this is repeated until the ray hits a light source. and this is then repeated for all pixels and several times util we have a properly lighted scene...

well its a self-programmed opengl application, so just text editor and a compiler.

hmm, well, basically it means that its completely programmed ...or made out of math ...so to say.

in this size and quality it was about 3 to 5 seconds (on a good GPU though - GTX3070) but the longer you wait the less grain.
