I am using Blender 2.82A… I have been learning … I added a plane for the land part… I eventually wanted the plane to have part of it as a lake water, sand and concrete… I’ve done this before in other scenes… with no issue… I have Lake material created with Nodes… it’s look fine in render in other scenes I’ve used it one… For some reason, in this scene, parts of the plane are not visible… I have moved the lighting around, used the Sun, used a plane as emission and still the parts don’t show… I am not sure what else to try to get the lake material to show up on the entire plane… don’t know why it is not showing up… Any ideas as to what I can check to see why…
thanks
How are you lighting your scene? The material preview mode uses one of a selection of built in HDRIs. Your final render won’t unless you add one. So, if you are using a grey world background, then there is nothing but that for your water to reflect. You are seeing all of your water, it’s just that it’s reflecting a grey “sky”
Oh okay… maybe that is the issue… I will run through the background… I guess my other scenes had more stuff to reflect off the water so it showed up…
thank you for the response… Am going to work on it
have a good day and be safe
