          that's why I think this type of effect should be done in post production.
          Did you use 3D fontain water? There are several on the 3d warehouse

            I believe it is essential to include a material type or tab that mimics "billboard" elements—specifically for materials that the user does not wish to fully render, but rather wants to configure for properties like alpha, masking, casting shadows, and receiving shadows. Adding this would significantly enhance the value of RayScaper. Currently, the absence of this feature—which is available in software like SketchUp—sometimes forces me to use other applications instead. I strongly recommend this addition; you can see similar implementations in programs such as Thea Render, SimLab Composer, and others.

              @Krass Suppose you have dozens of nozzles; imagine how many water droplets will have their light-related properties manipulated.

                @pixelcruncher I believe it's essential to include a material or tab that simulates billboard elements and materials for which the user doesn't want to render; they only want to define alpha, mask, cast shadow, and receive shadow. This would enhance the value of Rayscaper. Sometimes, this feature is unavailable here, even though it's available in SketchUp, so I recommend it. You can see this in several programs like TheaRender, SimLab Composer, etc.

                      A "fake emission" texture type can be used to prevent shadows from being cast onto a surface.

                        It would be great if you could add presets for the sun for different times of the day and night.
