Sorry, but I just hàd to do this...
This is my first ever TG2 transparent water render!
Took about 40 minutes on 2 cores.
Maybe nice to have this thread to post all the first transparency renders in, just for fun.
I think mine is better ;D
Now make the columns transparent. ;D ;D
Both images look great! What kind of render times do you get if you disable transparency?

Without transparency it took only 15 minutes...
So it's very renderintesive. It could increase rendertimes x3
Thanks, Mohawk20. Good info to know. I guess the long render times are unavoidable.
Well, if you see the difference in quality and realism, it's a small price to pay.
Compare these two renders: first has transparency disabled, second has transparency enabled (same as above)...
Yep. Transparency makes a huge difference in rendering realistic scenes. Thanks for those images.

OOOHHH, that's the reason I've avoided water scenes soooo much!!!!

It's an evidence ! ;)

Okay, here's my first transparency render. Woo hoo!And this rendered in just over 30 minutes for me. My dual cores are working great so render times have definitely improved. ;D

Cool render.
Yeah, nice colour in the water, and great rock textures!
a very quick test with transpenrency, sorry for the resolution my poor computer is too slow.

I really need to download this. :)
Hey nvseal, you can make water planet with this. ;)
These are all looking good. Time to try something or another myself. ;D
Nice render Costaud! Looks like blood... the stones further away look like bones and skeletons.

It looks like iron deposits rivers (ferruginous), just as we have here in Brazil. The Negro river (a branch of the amazon river) is exactly like that!!! The color decay is perfect!!!

Nothing special but here is my second try at transparent water (The first one crashed). ;D
Now did anybody notice Volume 1 Density Function and Volume 1 Colour Function?
I threw a quick Power Fractal at the both and the results look promising.
