Why this?

Why this?

[egz]

Coplanar faces?
0 height box?
0 extrusion?

[Daniele]

Just a rectangle with edit mesh, a box and a sphere!!!

[thethule]

Make sure the box has some thickness to it. not 0
Thats probably the reason

Good, that's right! Thank-you!

I'm getting a very similar problem



The object has a water texture (which needs a little more work, i know) but it is just a tube object w/ slice, no modifiers. Any ideas?

[thethule]

Yes....... don't use a tube with a slice modifier. Why dont you create a plane or a box (NOT 0 thickness) with lots of faces for some ripples and then boolean it from a cylinder. So you end up with a nice renderable circular mesh to apply all the material and modifier goodness you want. Well, thats what i would do anyhow.....

[Dynedain]

well, it does have a thickness (18' to be precise) but I'll try making it as a mesh and see if it solves the problem

[Dynedain]

I rebuilt the object as booleans then collapsed to poly as suggested instead of as a tube....but it still generates the same problem.

[GoncaloP]

try to lower the bottom of the water mesh, to behind of the bottom of the pool, it should solve this and keep the good looking refractions
