That render is truly amazing, I love the pool as @patnard said, and I really love the modernism of the house and the modern lighting! You also did a great job with the sunset and trees in the background. Great realistic render! I don’t normally say this, but that render fooled me, I thought it was a real photo!

This is LUSH! :heart:

I would like to try some architectural rendering at some point. Might come your way for some hints and tips!

Did you have to work on a complex shader for the water or was it a simple transmission?

Sure SAuchterlonie, feel free.

I was experimenting between a plane object and a volume of water, I settled on the volume, it’s just transmition with a little Volumetric Absorbtion added.
There was little difference between the two methods but if your’re wanting caustics you really need to use the flat plane.

I want to take a dive in that pool rn. :star_struck: Good work!

Would you mind showing the node setup. I’ve been going craZy getting a nice pool with volumtrics and also caustics. Guess it only works on clear water or I should go with the fake caustics route

Hey rombout, In the version you see here I used a simple Plane for the Water so I could use Caustics although I turned off the Caustics in the final render.
and the material could not be simpler…

Try using something like this for the tiles…

…and a noise displace Modifier for the Water Plane.
then I added lights in the pool for an extra touch…Hope this helps :smiley:

Ow wow, so no caustics and no volume. That’s indeed vert basic. Guess it’s your lighting and post work which makes it so believable. Amazing grading

Thanks man :smiley:

I do love this one!
The only detail i see is the size of the tiles, but otherwise Great job!
I am looking forward to see more!
