1. First image there’s only reflecting on the water but no transperancy, so the tile pool not showed.

I think beside the transparency settings the viewing angle. For example:
Low angle (less transparency seen)
Large/high angle (More transparency seen)

As for the third problem, is it a default SU material?

Thanks, ;D
but about the angle is it water character naturally?

For third image its the same material water with other image. But the third image model file is the biggest.

Yes, naturally. At least that’s my opinion. The images that i posted below are real world so… it make sense.

In third image i meant the material of the columns witch are reflected in the water. are they have default SU material?

Yes the column paint material from SU material(marker - beige).
Is it make any problem with the SU material, and i’m not linked it to vray material.

Nick, these still look pretty good aside from the water. The second image looks the best to me (as you said). How did you do the water?

Thanks 40th and nomerado ;D
I think I’ve already found the problem. It’s on the refraction transparency. Because my water mat was modified from clear glass mat.

And Joe, here’s water material that I modified from clear glass SU , hope it helps ;D

Re: Tranparancy for water? Is there any bugs?

I try to make good water too, but all I get it’s this…maybe I’m dumb.. :-\

If you try to make the water look more transparent. I think that it’s Refraction IOR interferes with the Reflection IOR.

Yes stafanq 40th is right.
The water seems too dirty, so you need to make the refraction transparency more white.
;D

The third picture with the default sketchup material applied to the columns, you need to paint the back sides too (paint the inside faces which is what is seen in the water reflection). The water reflects the backside of the material, in this case, the inside faces of the columns.
