How to make realistic foam in Blender?

Here's how you can make realistic soap foam in Blender, in Patreon you can also see how to make coffee foam, but don't worry, there is no rocket science and once you know how to make soap foam, you'll also be able to figure out the coffee one.

    This was like a suspenseful movie - I'm on the edge of my seat to the very last minute of the video. ...and then finally bam - there it is! I really enjoyed this, thanks for taking the time to make this video.

    On the last step, to make it lok really iridescent, i would recommend default cube's approach, which is using a Fresnel connected to a color remp which has rainbow colors, so t he colors change as you look at it from different angles, looks really good

    If the main focus of your render is the foam, I'd recommend doing this. Otherwise it'd probably take more render time than the result is worth

    I only half understand what is going on here, but after a couple of tries, I was able to replicate this. As a newbie with Blender, I was struggling with the scale factor at first since I didn't realize how I would need to start working at the same default scale of these objects as you to get the same effect. I kept trying to add more math nodes in there to correct the scaling issues but decided that for now, I was just going to make these large-scale objects and transform them down without applying the scale. This is absolutely brilliant though and I will certainly be linking to this channel when I post renders that use this technique. Thank you so much!

    I've copied this node for node 3 times now thinking that I'm an idiot, but I just feel like something has changed in blender since this came out, or somehow my settings are messed up. Everything looks great up until adding volume, at which point nothing looks correct. It doesn't end up looking milky when I use your values, only if I bump them up to like 5000, and then when I try use the inverted mask and multiply, nothing ends up looking correct. I'm starting to feel like an insane person redoing this over and over. If anyone has any idea what I'm doing wrong, I'd love some advice. Edit: Still looking for how to fix the issue, but if anyone wants a quick botch fix, you can go into your settings for the material and under volume check the "homogeneous" box, then after that multiply your inverted texture by a massive amount... it still doesn't look nearly as good as the video, but it's better than the broken mess I end up with otherwise. Edi 2: The plot thickens... I went out of my way to get the blend file from Bad Normals original project to see if using the current version of blender the file would look correct. It does. However if I import his materials into my blend file they end up looking just as messed up as the ones I created. I'm now convinced there's something wrong with how my project is set up, but I'm not sure what. I wish I could figure that out, because this isn't the first blender tutorial I've followed to the T where stuff ended up looking wrong after the fact.

    It might benefit from using a smooth maximum to bevel the intersection edges between bubbles a tiny bit. I think it might be a little bit more computational intensive than with simple maximum but with such a computational intensive project it shouldn't matter to much
