  * Name your new material.
* **Edit Material Properties**:
  * Select the material to open it in the **Inspector** window.
  * Adjust the **Shader** type to Unlit/LiquidShader
  * Modify properties like **Color**, **Metallic**, **Smoothness**, and others as needed.

### Step 2 - Create a new Liquid Prefab

* **Duplicate one of the Prefabs**:
  * Right-click on the prefab.
  * Select **Duplicate** from the context menu (or press `Ctrl+D` on Windows, `Cmd+D` on Mac).
* **Rename the Duplicated Prefab** (optional):
  * The duplicated prefab will appear with "Copy" appended to its name.
