hey Im using the new Irender Nxt plugin. I added some lights but i dont think its working properly or i'm just doing something wrong. Im trying to get that entire dark area to have light but its not working. I tried using spot light,ceiling light and point light nothing worked it all comes out the same. Also im trying to get lights under the tents and its the same issue. Please i need some help.

    Do you mean that the ground plane isn't working properly at all?  ...or is it just that the surface is rendering flat (no waves or ripples)?

    To get the surface of the water to render properly, it's necessary to adjust the scale for the texture, "rubble" for example.  The scale setting is going to be dependent on the view.  It's set to 500 for the above rendering, which seems ridiculous but worked quite well.  Also the sun reflects the way that it does because "sharpness" is set to .10.  A diffuse reflection like that will require more passes to solve properly.

    I tried working on a new model with these settings but it didnt show the sea with the rubble effect i dont know why

    I wanted to make the water more realistic, a "Ground Plane" trick that Rich Hart and I were playing around with not long ago.  This is only about 45 passes with the Packet Mode engine, more passes will continue to improve the sky reflection on the water and especially the sun.  The bump is "Rubble" the bump scale is 500 and the Strength is 1.0.  This rendering is really nice at 45 passes and it doesn't need more, but I'm going to let it keep going for a while!

    Now all we need is a nice sail boat out on the water (lots of them in the 3D warehouse).  But I should get back to some other tasks!!!

    There are heaps of free ones that are not restricted and can be used for commercial purposes.
