The most of it is just PP (the background). But Madhav, this is a great scene, almost like painting. This is the most important thing IMO

Michalis, it's a spherical background from KT's collection; no PP is needed to add it. Here's the link to download it:

Thanks for your comment. yes, Its global downloaded from KT website. I have just exported model to KT, inserted global, disabled sun and applied materials. There are some other global libraries too. You just need to import the file and choose it from the drop down menu in KT.

Here my attempt with IRender.
Water borrowed from 3DWH by Jam

Nice Rich! Thanks for sharing the fountain spray you found. Ivy looks nice on the wall...I would add a concrete texture to the fountain itself with a little dirt on it.

Here's something I was playing with yesterday using 3dsMax particle flow. Still needs work, but it's a start. (.gif conversion killed the quality!)

Very cool Adam.

Now if you had Realflow, you could get it to spill over and do some crazy stuff.

EarthMover · 13 Nov 2009, 16:52

Who can afford Realflow?! I contemplated Glu3D a while back for doing waterfalls and flame particles, but couldn't get the hang of it. Seems like a good alternative to Realflow for a lot less money.

Recently returned from a trip to Greece, and this was found among the ruins.

haha good one

Vue.

I created the splash and spray with SDS, more a bubbling fountain than a spray.

I took your model with water and ran it through Render nXt.

Changes:

turned on the ground plane for shadows (and changed it from green to grey)
used default High Dynamic Studio lighting
Set "rubble" procedural effect on the water. Scale set to 16 for enhanced ripples. (a bird bath usually has smaller waves than an ocean)
Set 50% reflection on the water for enhanced highlighting from the sky.
Added 20% reflection to the concrete so it could have some highlighting from the sky.

I let it "cook" for about 15 minutes while I took a shower.
(The shadows get softer and softer the longer you let it cook)

Here is the result:
