V-Ray

Creating the photorealistic renders of the swimming pool and BBQ area for the country manor was one of the most rewarding experiences I've had in this field. V-Ray is a fantastic tool for producing satisfyingly realistic water that reflects light and the surroundings. There's a small brick pavilion to one side of the area with a dance floor and audio equipment for those poolside parties. The neighbours will never be disturbed as only the large estate parkland and paddocks surround the area. The small stone pathway lights were also created in V-Ray. They have a soft amber glow and light the way to the pool and pavilion. Click on each image to learn more. If you're viewing this on your phone the titles will appear very large - apologies! Wix does not offer any way to change the font size yet.

An outdoor swimming pool and BBQ area at night. There's a rockery on the edge of the pool and the surrounds are stone paved, lit from short stone-built path light features. The BBQ area has a tiled roof, stone columns and a stone chimney. There's a brick pavilion with four sets of arched French doors. The artificial lights and underwater lights are reflected in the water.

Pool area - Night - Across the pool to the pavilion

The small stone-built pathway lights show the way around the pool to the roofed BBQ area and pavilion. They also light up the poolside rockery. The light is broken up across the realistic pool water and mingles with the visible underwater lights.
