I'm having Problems using this method in a particular situation.
Up untill now I've been using this technique successfully with the good ol' 1 container enclosing 1 liquid.

Now a Client is asking for special Situation (just like the one in the middle of this stock pic)

Here's the problem:

The glas has to be filled with 5 "slices" of liquid in different colors.
Similar to oil seperating itsself from water in one container.

I made this incredibly ugly JPG in a rush to explain the modeling.

Image

The modeling is done in Cinema 10.5 and exported via plugin (latest version)

The result is very strange as you can see...
The first and last "slice" of liquid is distorted and looks very different from the slices in between them. Also the deviding line between the slices doesn't look too realistic.

All the liquids share the same simple water material I've applied for testing so far.
I've used the scene, materials, lighting etc before and havnt had any problems up untill now.

Is there a better method for this? Am I missing something important?
