Hi,

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if its something I'm doing wrong with my settings. I have set up a swimming pool and filled it with water. But the water renders differently in the preview scene than it does in the final render.
I also want to know if there is a way to "darken" the water a deeper blue as it gets deeper.

See Attachments.

This is what it looks like rendered...not the same. Its as if the deep end got leveled off...???

Looks like some different geometry settings for preview and rendering modes... Could you give me the scene?

Okay,

I hope the materials pass along with it.

Thanks

Oops, my bad. I had mislabeled some surfaces as curves and forgot to turn them off.


Off topic, still interested in figuring out how to make water darker as it gets deeper. Any tips on how this is done?
