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.

[Bryan K]

Here's the update with the suggested changes and some other adjustments such as depth of field.

I like it.
