Fire, Pool, Pizza

This is a clip of a project I've been working on. Peter (Solo) here on the forums composed the animation sequences for me. He did a great job. I'm continually impressed with the quality. Although, we really need a waterfall shader, a fire shader and lighting proxies asap in order to do a full presentation on a project like this.. It looks weird with the still waterfall.

Here is a fire test using just emissive materials. Not too bad. Would be much better with an actual "fire" material.

Enscape team, trust me, if you guys add support for fire and waterfalls, I can push this product heavily to my connections in the US Landscape market. You'd sell a ton of licenses just on those two features.

I have the current water (named) material applied to the waterfalls. Perhaps I'm not getting any water animation because I'm not using a flat plane. Or maybe it's only set to animate on a XY plane and not a XZ or YZ. Having it animate vertically or downwards would help, but a true waterfall material is a must eventually. BTW - Here is the model I made for the waterfall if you want to test it - https://www.dropbox.com/s/8z8x…%20Splash%20Foam.skp?dl=0

NIce work but I missed the pizza! Would sure be a nice place to sit back and enjoy one.

Would really be neat if there was a way to animate the water spouts/fountains.

I added the pizza and a lot of the other bells and whistles in the new renders. I ended up having to move the project out of Sketchup / Enscape and into 3ds Max / Corona Render. These are Corona renders which detail what I would like to personally be able to achieve in Enscape. Light components is one piece of the puzzle, but the other was making a lot of proxies out of the heavy entourage in the scene. (All the plants, food, furniture, etc.) It's all proxied down to make the scene a more manageable size.

I think I could achieve a very similar output from Enscape to be honest. I'm going to leave these renders here and revisit this post when we get lights, fire, waterfalls and better proxy support. Should be pretty cool to compare.

Thanks Dave!
