jmcumming Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 [ATTACH=CONFIG]42879[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]42880[/ATTACH] Hi Im having trouble getting the light from above to reflect off the water. The image without the poolwater shows the shadows from the roof (and floating columns :s), but when i unhide the water you can see its not reflected. Can anyone help with this? its annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Thomas Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Are you using vray? If so you could try turning on reflective caustics under your GI settings. By default the box is not ticked, it's right up at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcumming Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Thanks for suggestion. Im using the Maxwell plugin for 3dmax. But the reflective caustics are turned on. It got me thinking tho and realised it was an option in the material editor. I needed to add another component (a BDSF one) to the water material.
