Hi,
Thanks to all who took part on last weekend's "drifting" challenge.
This week I bring you a swimming pool. I modelled and rendered the scene in Blender 3D, and textured it in Adobe Substance Painter. However, it looks far too quiet for a pool party. Can you liven it up ?
The “rules”:
To download the image below at 3000 x 2000 pixels with an embedded ICC colour profile (sRGB), hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).
For those that like to get a sense of scale, the pool measures 12 m x 8 m and is 1m deep at the shallow (far) end and 2m at the deep end. The "camera" lens used in rendering is 26mm focal length.
When posting back your image – please use the Blue reply button in this first post. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.
Have fun.
Dave

Hello,
now we are in holidays, what means in our case, we have/want to entertain our grandchild with an amusing stay. Something for the weekend is one of her favorites, and not just of her. And this is what our result looks like this time, it should be an excursion into the world of forest and nature beings.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for setting up another fun challenge! Your swimming pool render looks fantastic—really clean and well-done. To bring more life into the scene, you might want to add some elements that suggest a party atmosphere, like floating pool toys, beach balls, or even some splashes to show movement. You could also experiment with lighting to create a more vibrant, festive mood.
As someone who's worked with a pool builder before, I've seen how adding the right features can completely transform a space, so don’t be afraid to get creative with decorations and effects. Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!
