    • Maxwell+sketchup transparent water/glass materials

      hello,
      I'm trying maxwell render for sketchup, and so far, everything is fine, but i can't figure out how to make a satisfying water.
      I've imported some water materials i found on http://www.maxwellrender.com, I applied the texture in sketchup, rescaled it, and fired maxwell. This first try gave me a nice water-ish texture, good reflections but no transparency.

      Then I changed the materials to the embedded mode, and this time, i had the transparency, but no more reflections, just a flat texture.

      and the last thing i tried was changing the type of the material in the embeded mode to "liquid" (wich doesn't look like a liquid, in the end)

      and "ags":

      so here, there's transparency and reflection, but the water looks flat, without waves, basically, like glass.

      My question is: how can i make water that would look like a mix between the first and the last picture?
      the fist got waves and the waters looks like it has a mass, and the last one is transparent and is reflective.

      thanks for you help and advices!
