Title: water room

I wanted to make a dirty looking water room, just like those you can find ion those crappy suburb hotels... I think it's quite good, only real pb are those strange artefacts (the vertical lines) in the volumetric light, dunno what creates them

Needs a little bit of tweaking.

Turn up the shadow map resolution on the light params, that should sort the volume light out.

Make the shelf/tiles/glass mire shiny...give it a nice specular highlight, then put a slight bright threshold blur on to give it a bit of specular bleedoff.

Its a nice composition.

The only other thing it would benefit from is maybe some Final gathering/ GI.

it's raytraced shadows, not shadow map.
the mirror is just broken :)
final gathering/GI ? wazat?

The Proper name for radiosity.  Or rather, the more popular technique thats used to do physically correct lighting simulations.

Radiosity works off face subdivision and needs a very clean mesh to work properly.

Final Gathering is a better sampling method (well..the quasi monte-carlo ones, anyway)

GI is bog standard photon mapping.

oh. well, no radiosity with max, so that'll do I guess
