          If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

            ๐Ÿ˜ That's fantastic Pete!
            How did you manage to shift that statue from Easter Island into your backyard?

              Damn, that night shot is amazing. Out of curiousity how high was the water reflection set (always trying to learn)?

                Thanks.

                I could'nt move the statue, so i built the fountain around it. ๐Ÿ˜†

                alpro, water I generally set at 65%

                  hi pete,

                  thanks for the effort. my favorite is the daylight scene. somehow the night scene looks like a glass slab rather than a sheet of running water.

                  regards.

                    I agree with you, I need to find a different bump for the night effect.

                        I thought this might be a fun challenge. Unfortunately my end product looks like a BBQ gone wild.
                        Could use more 'splash' at the pool.

                          i like it CADrex, altohugh i reckon it could do with a bit less thickness. seems youve got the transparency and texturing pretty spot on thoguh.

                            the fall is small but the pool is just about what i want. thanks.

                              Thanx. Yeah, the thickness is a bit much. The apparent force of water would probably 'take out' the pool ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
