[john2]

Im trying to render a cuboid whose lower end has tiles and the upper face has water. But when I render the scene the tile don’t show up. It shows up as white What should I do?

Without looking at it - did you by any chance apply texture on reversed face?
And which rendering engine is that?

After checking on the reversed faces, did you check that your geometry for the water is in a group or component. Check the first sticky comment for specifics: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=322&t=28593

No I did not. i eventually tried to render by applying material on reversed face but i get the same result . I'm using Vray 1.49

My water face is a loose rectangle. please check the attached model file.

Actually the issue is again reverse texture side. Your case did not include the bump map file, so I supplied a silly map.

So what should I do then? I can't figure out where i'm going wrong. I did nothing on the reverse face initially and I was still facing a problem . So is a bump map necessary then? I'm new to vray . So please bear with me

No problem. Your render showed refraction of the shadow edge, therefore you had the bumpmaps working. Starting from the case you sent follow the procedure.
a) Select the bottom of the pool ( be careful not to select the top of water)
b) paint your texture on the now empty side (from outside)
c) reverse faces
d) render.

This should do it.
Good luck
