ACADuser Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I have a stream & lake but the water shows different for all three & they have the same materials. Bridge BRF.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton_Brown Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Alan, The water material has transparent properties. It is intended to be used in features like swimming pools where the pool bottom, etc is visible. I suspect that to use it successfully as you are intending, you will have to provide bottom materials for the lakes and the stream bed... Just a guess...

tommy1 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 To just try to get the terminology right, that looks more like a render with shadows than a Raytrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Gavin Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Agree with Barton. The grass is showing through on two areas and the white backdrop is showing through under the bridge. BTW - how do you get water to flow UP HILL? ;o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit Final view with shadows Then did Raytrace, stopped at 20 passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACADuser Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 OK I looked at the Terran Path (Stream) and the lakes (Terran Features) and both have the same material properties. Water with transparency and same index. I changed to Translucent & they then all looked the same. But the bottom was grass for all three objects.
