Fletch, could you provide some pointers on getting this type of water effect with today's version of Twilight [V2.x] using unbiased presets? I can't seem to get control over opacity, color, reflectivity, etc., without using one of the biased presets 1-7, and biased settings don't give me the anti-aliasing qualities that my projects require, especially with advanced lighting. It seems that when this post began back in 2010 the deep material's opacity settings were still controlled by the Sketchup material's opacity.
I can produce the water color and opacity with just Sketchup materials, but as soon as I convert to deep material to try to get Reflectivity or Bump, my material goes opaque and I'm stumped (maybe I need advice on Refraction/Fresnel/Absorption?). Also, when I use any water/liquid templates with an unbiased preset, I have the same issues, although I do believe I read somewhere that these templates require biased presets 1-7 for best results.
Your Stone House and Pool in this forum topic look great in both day and night scenes, and I noticed that one of your replies in this post said "...with Easy 10 Interior+".
Any help would be greatly appreciated ~
