How does it look without the liquid? Are the normals facing the right direction? Transmission Ray Depth is high? Did you scale the liquid up?
How does it look in the glass bowl or studio scenes here?
If that doesn't work, please upload the scene.
try with an arnold sky (just with a white texture for example, and make it only visible in reflection and refraction if needed) black parts maybe because you have no background, so the liquid material has nothing to refract.
Specular Ray Depth also needs to be high... it needs to be at least 4 to avoid dark areas.
Just invert normals....go to polygon mode and right click on the object then look for reverse normals and cliclick it.
Where? Can you reply to the answers here first, please?
thanks everyone answer my question ,I changed the HDRI sky and the normal direction is right ,but its doesnt work,When I turn up ray depth and transmission ,its come to use,at the same time ,new question have arisen ,The body of bottle and bottleneck is too dark.In order to remove black part ,I have to turn ray depth up to 14 or more,and rendering time take long to three time as long as,isnt that too long? is there another way?
Isn't it dark because it's just refracting the black areas in your scene? Add a sky/HDRI or model something to reflect/refract in the bottle.
