We design truck washes and car washes and I am trying to put together realistic rendered portfolio for clients and need to figure out a way to incorporate water or something simulating the visual effects of water to take our renderings to the next level. Has anyone had any experience using a material for water. Our end goal would be to have water spraying out of our nozzles in a cone/fan like manner in the wash during the "walk-through". This water can be stationary it does not need to be animated.

Any help or guidance on this would be gladly appreciated.

Sean,

The only way I can think of is to use a spot light with fog. add/edit the spotlight, then go to photoview 360,

and add fog to the light.

I hope this hopes,

Sean -

Here is what I started with;

I drew a cone and shelled it to .001 thick added heavy rippled glass and added some color to it so it has a little depth effects - My background could be better to highlight the spray, but I think you probably want it subtle - there but be able to see through..

The only thing I would change or add is the bottom edge of the cone I would scallop or make wavy, to break up the perfect line, which should give it a little more realistic look.

After applying the Glass material - edit the appearance, there you can add the color and adjust the direction and wrapping of the material pattern....

Good luck

Another way which might even be better and that is take a picture of the spray and add that to your cone, however you would need to change the transparency - upload a picture if you have it
