Wanted to make a dock. Learned how to make water from YouTube hehe.
With Eevee
With Cycles
Nicely done scene.
Nice and simple, I really like the feel of it.
Great job! Like the varied colors on the boards of the dock. And nicely done experimenting with materials - getting the transparency in the water as well as the reflection. I wonder if you try using Eevee with “Screen Space Reflections” turned on, if you might get some of that reflective effect in Cycles without having to wait so long for the render? Something I haven’t tested yet myself.
