Hi everyone...
I'd like to know if it's possible to create lakes (and obviously going further...) over a moon.
When I try to select the planet on which the "lake" has to lay on, I got a double report error: what does it mean?

I've attached the ER.
Thank you in advance.

i'm not sure what the error is about - but to get a planet-sized lake object, you have to use a sphere object with a water shader is surface shader.
the lake object is not ideal for these sizes.

also, maybe you should use just a reflective shader for this, as you wont see transparency anyway on a distant moon.


best regards,
Goms

Create a sphere the same size as your moon and at the same location. Then apply a water shader.
They just issued a tornado warning and said to stay away from windows. Does that mean I can't use my computer?

the error may have something to do with crop rendering,
i recently had the same error with crop renders on a scene i was working on recently
