How do I make gooey syrup?

[bluberry (T)]

I am modelling an ice cream. the ice cream has gooey caramel syrup dripping from it.

I made the syrup by duplicating faces from the icecream and re shaping it, so It’s a plane at the moment. But how to I add thickness to make it gooey?

I’ve tried using solidify but it makes it look jagged and strange. extruding the faces makes the thickness ‘flat’ instead of looking round and gooey and also makes some jagged shapes.

How do I make round gooey drippy syrup?

Might be easier to sculpt it or use the fluid sim with high viscosity.

…and very calmly music.

If you’re animating syrup, use fluid simulation.
If not, try remesh+sculpting.

If you want to animate the syrup… prepare for the worst
