water - lake - river - sea

[Dervish]

hey guys,

Hope you are all good.

I just got back into 3d again and yadayada..

In Vray I would normally, create water mtl, noise in bump, and i would get a nice  looking river or lake for architectural images.

How do I do this in corona? I cannot seem to get it correct.

Any help would be appreciated.

Exact same steps in Corona...

Why don't you get correct results? Can you post what you are getting?

Sorry for asking something in someone`s post, but i have problems with caustics too.

I attached pics to show my results, materials and settings.

Sorry for any mistakes, english is not my native language.

Water material should not have diffuse at all. Set it to 0 black. Anyway bidir/VCM is an experimental feature not fully supported yet.
Is better to have a caustic pass instead of rendering the whole togheter.
Ages ago i did some tuto on caustics. just use one material instead of 3 if you are not interested in diffraction.

Is in the tutorial section of the forum. Is a little outdated but maybe it can help you.
