I have been making a bathroom scene in which there is a shower. To add a little dynamic flare I really want to add some water into the mix by making the shower look on. To do this I don’t want to us the fluid simulator as it is too unpredictable, I was planning to use a water texture. The only problem is that I have no idea how to get one. Also on top of this I have some planks of wood underneath this shower head which I would like to be darker because of the water (this problem I think I can solve with some fiddling, but I have no idea how to texture a plane to look like water).
Here is the current unfinished scene at 1500 samples (none of it is finished yet and I am aware of many of the problems in the render):
thanks, please ask if i a being unclear.
