Description
A beach scene rendered using Reality 1.2 sunlight. The ocean water and floor required a lot of work to render properly in Reality, but the result is worth the effort.Credits: Ultimo Paradiso by Alessandro_AM, Surfboard by Adam Thwaites.

Thank you Fawnikins. Its one of my best renders to date. You might like the mushroom one as well - that also looks pretty realistic.
Cheers

Excellent work, would the lux settings for the paradiso be downloadable?

Hi Bartimaeus
I wouldn't mind sharing in ACSEL but there wouldn't be much use, because I didn't use much of the set't components or textures and I didn't change many material settings. However, I spent far more time adjusting the mechanical setup of the set to get the right ocean effect in Reality. I'll explain a bit below and hopefully that will be more useful to you
Firstly, I used the hi-res textures you can find here [link]
I didn't use the skydome, coral reef or waves. I removed the ocean texture and set it to pool/sea water with ripple=5 in Reality. I added a plane as big as the ocean, just touching the bottom of the island and applied Ultimo Paradiso's "bottom sand" texture to it. Without the ocean floor, the water renders transparent in Reality.
For lighting, I used Reality's Sun with gain=0.05 and IBL with no image but colour=58, 98, 148 for a nice deep blue tropical sky colour.
Hopefully that helps you more than 1 or 2 ACSEL settings
