I think the water in the pool looks good. The new render's water looks like the water in the Susquehanna; it's only about 7 ft. at its deepest in most places. The color is right. I'm curious how you might change it so it's better.

What do you mean, increase detail underwater? I just found out it's only possible (to what extend I don't know yet) by increasing detail when rendering. This was 0.5 and AA 5, image size = 100% rendersize.

Hi Dune,

I deepened the water and did some other stuff, but now I am troubled by the lack of detail under water. Tried another render, but outcome is the same. It's the first time I really notice this, and I remember reading about it somewhere, so I'll click the search button after this.

You need to increase the detail setting so the underwater terrain renders at higher detail.

I was only refering to the next render with the tweaks you have in mind. Frankly, I do not know how to make it better, since I don't see anything wrong in the first place. It looks right to me.

Pretty, very pretty work! I am admiring!

Looks pretty awesome so far! Quite convincing waterfall!
The strata pattern on the rockformation near the water might use some breakup and/or other details.
Hopefully you will find some time to render it with higher detail settings to get the underwater-surface look better.
The overall scene could as well benefit from slightly higher settings. I see you're still with your own believes regarding that :)

Cheers,

veeery, very nice. I only have an odd feeling about the scaling - the waterfall says to me its seven foot high - but the trees surrounding speak a different language.

Absolutely amazing! My only suggestion would be to make the cloud of water vapor at the base of the waterfall a bit denser, bestdes that this one is spot on!
