Critique wanted - first proper pool/water render

Arcadia — Thu, 11 May 2023 10:16:45 GMT

This is my first proper attempt at a pool/water render and I am fairly happy with it but would appreciate comments.

I like the look of it but it is probably not very natural as most pools have a distinct blue look . I'm not sure how to get this look but I guess i would have to change the materials of the pool walls itself to a blue color and then add a blue sky?

There's that, and then there's coloring the water.....

when water is blue or green or whatever, where does the color come from?

I swim in a pool in the summer that is painted white every spring. It has green water.

But why worry about the quality when the rest of the rendering is so murky.
[I am just teasing.]

The best result will be to map the inside of the pool with a photo of light diffractions in a pool.

I've photoshopped it a little. Still too gloomy?
