Pool

Something I worked on for a bit, then forgot about. Browsed through my renders and realized I hadn't posted it as a WIP.

Indigo 1.0.9 on Linux.

Moment of Inspiration and Blender.

EDIT: forgot to mention, this is Blender subdiv and displacement

zsouthboy... WOW! great scene! The water surface and clarity are terrific!! How did you create the water's surface and what settings are you using for the water material?? i just want to jump right in that pool. excellent work!

very nice although i dont see any under water jets justifying that surface movement , foam is the next step. and bubbles

great work

Amazingly realistic! Water is fantastic!
I also really like your floor texture. The nails are a nice touch. Where is it from?

Very wow! Congrats..

Thanks all!

cpfresh:
The water is the freshwater igm that CoolColJ posted at the end of his long line of water tests - it's got some slight SSS, and the absorbtion spectrum is defined (I'll try to find the mat on the forum, if not I'll just upload it) - all i had to do is get the scene scale right and Indigo did all the hard work!
The displacement is a stucci procedural (I'll double check on that - might be clouds) applied as a displacement modifier in Blender.

@BbB:
I think I got that texture from the Maxwell mat db (I have a worry about that, btw*) It's a blend - the wood, a null material (to make the boards individual), and the specular metal dots that act as nail heads.

*I know a lot of us are going to maxwell and fry mat DBs to get textures and stuff, and I'm worried that *eventually*, Ono is going to get a notice from one or the other - what do you guys think? (Not that we're doing anything against the rules, but technically we're not max or fry users [though I've demoed both])

...Why should that be a problem... If you want to avoid any problems, ppl might have, you either can do nothing or you credit them

Amazing scene, really
The only thing that bugs me a bit is the very saturate ball, compared to the rest of the scene... I mean yes, they ARE saturate... but maybe not that saturate...

Kram:

The ball would look more "natural" if I had a true sun+sky+clouds exr lighting the scene (as that would reduce apparent contrast)

probably...
