yeh, the bamboo trees on the foreground are added in PhotoShop as a second layer. First i separately rendered the bamboo in IDX on a white background. In PhotoShop i got rid of all the white and added this layer over the 'main' render. I used the 'Gaussian' blur filter for the effect. Regarding the distortion of water surface in IDX i'm not that frilled to be honest. The size of distortion is so small in my opinion that it comes across a bit weird in the render. In the attached render I distorted the water by hand in PS by using the 'smudge tool'.

jeri

The water effect is a picture imported as texture in SketchUp. Scaled to match the height and repeated horizontally to fill out.
