Patio pond: Updated

Great inprovement! I know we are both fans of Raylectron. From memory (I say that because just updated SU and not installed RL yet) Are you familier with the Materials drop down list or download from cloud? they are preset and are very good. One click sets Texture, Normals, reflection, blah blah. Really a great feature.

The basic preloaded materials are mostly modifiers and really quite good. The material editor is also easy and quite good once you figure it out. Grass is amazing, although I still haven't mastered it yet.
The cloud materials are actual real materials and look great, however, and maybe it's just me, I've found the inventory lacking sometimes. As in, I can't find a material I want and have to substitute another and no amount of editing will get it close to want I want.
But Raylectron suits me 99% of the time and I love the interface, ease of use and speed and results. My only complaint these days is the 9 year old laptop I'm using. It's taking the fun out of modeling and rendering. In fact, it's making it downright tedious and difficult these days.

Gute Arbeit
I focus more clearly on this small bar (hopefully well equipped) than on the Pond. Whenever you can afford this nice project, I'd love to come for a drink
-
Thanks HornOxx. Of course the bar is well stocked. Of course you are invited.

He Bryan, do you have any volume under the surface? In the attached image the water was a standard rayletron water. The ocean also has depth and rocks can be seen at the bottom of the ocean (look in the shadow of the wharf) ) there are also 3 fish but not dicernable at this resolution
-
More fiddling and refining. Used Raylectron's pool water texture. Adjusted lighting, background and textures.

Hey bryan heaps better
The materials and "get materials from the cloud" are all good in Raylectron and they all have normals maps for "bump"
I use raylectron and have a few suggestions. Hope you dont mind but I have posted some suggestions in the attached image.
Just for the exersise change the back and side walls in sketchup to: Materials/ Bricks cladding and siding/Stone Sandstone Ashlar Light. then give them 12 of bump in raylectron. This will show you the importance of bump. If you experiment with the setting I suggest it will be a quantum leap in you renders and you will not look back.Cheers

Thanks! I'll try that tonight.
Thanks for the pic as well. Great suggestions. I'll try all of those tonight as well.
-
Here's the update with the suggested changes and some other adjustments such as depth of field.
I like it.
