Re: Off the beating track Hi VeroniQ, Thanks for your nice comment! What sort of texture do you use for the lake? The water is in fact not a texture, it's a 3D model of water generated from a height-field map. The water reflections are quite natural, and are created by applying a glass surface in the .mtl -file:newmtl sea Ka 0.0 0.0 0.0 Kd 1.0 1.0 1.0 Ks 0.33 0.33 0.33 Ns 10.0 d 0.86 illum 2 I have tried to explain it here And there's also a link to a water model ( and some other things I have created ), that can be downloaded HERE How do you obtain this very realistic colors? I have had some time to experiment for a couple of weeks ( no children), and I have spent some time looking at ways of using Enko's panel lights, applying different colours and intensity. I have also experimented with layering slightly displaced copies of my models on top of each other, using transparent textures to create depth and colour variations ( like faking displacement/bump maps). The colour of the water is determined by an underlying layer ( a box) that I have textured with different shades of blue and green. I'm abroad at the moment, without my SH3D-files, so I cannot give you any examples now, but I can come back with a more in-depth explanation ( and some more examples) when I get back to my workstation at the end of the week.
