Hello all, does anyone have a clue when will the water issue will be resolved when using the path tracer option to render? We all know that the water appears dark with none of its real utilities.

Hopefully soon. I too am in a bind regarding Water and the Path Tracer.

A current project is located on a large lake bordering a large grassy field. I cannot get both Painted Grass and Water to appear correct in the same view.

If I use the Raster setting the Water looks great with all the ripples and wind gusts. However Raster setting with Painted Grass does not show grass far enough out in the distance. Even on FAR Fading of Grass settings there is a definite visible line where the Grass drops off.

No problem, the Grass looks great in the Path Tracer going off far into the distance and not dropping off. But now the Water in the Path Tracer looks like a sheet of dark annodized aluminum or something but definitely not water.

Waiting for the fix….

FRUSTRATED
