Next step of water Project

To give the water a realistic feel the next step of the water process involves HDRI imaging and caustics lighting in Maya Mental Ray. I have only found a few tutorials most of the good material in hard reference. Progress update soon.

New images for water tests inside hot springs enviroment

These are the newest renders with all the hypershade problems fixed but still with the absence of lighting and rendering (just using all defaults from MR settings in Maya.) The texture pack for the hot springs rock formation itself is also not the final version in which will not looked all stretched on the side surfaces of the structure. After the ambient inclusion render and the lines in the top image will no longer exist.
