I can't imagine the results are very attractive. What do you want it for?
There are some very shallow resin shower trays around now and there are
liners for use under tiles in wetrooms.

Doesn't matter how it looks cause it won't be seen when the job is done,
just like a regular shower pan.
I want it for, uh, a shower pan, that goes from floor to ceiling, then it
will be covered in tile.

Been there, done that, will do it again if I have to.
I heard about this other stuff, Redgard, and thought I'd check into it.
Back to the original question, have you ever heard of it (Redgard, or
comparable) or know anything about it?

I've used Redgard under tile floors to seal cracks. That's an intended
use. I roll it on with a foam roller, about a foot on either side of the
crack. It makes a thin film that will seal moisture coming through the
crack from the ground below.
I don't think it will make a heavy enough barrier to use as a shower pan
unless you put on many, many coats. If you do that, it might no longer
work as intended.
Get a PVC liner from the hardware store that's intended for the purpose.
It will definitely perform properly. You can get some extra and run it
up the wall, though you'll have an issue with the joints.
