My Fountain - Page 2

OK, so I decided to redo my textures so that they look more like the reference image. I created a base and used a little bit of photo textures. Hopefully this is a lot better then my previous one which was 2 photo textures blended together.

nice so far, the pixel ratio seems irregular and there might be some normal map issues on the base ( probably some weird gradient on the normal map)
don't hesitate to use some stone photographic texture for this diffuse,

Does anyone know how to get the real-time shader to have shadows?

You supposedly need to enable shadows on the viewport settings, on the light settings and on the material settings for it to work (didn't for me though).
You could add more moist on the walls up to the water surface level. And also baking some Ambient Occlusion would add a lot to it, even with no shadows. Oh, and I think water that shallow should be mostly transparent.
The fountain itself is pretty good.

Thanks for the input, I did the AO with all the pieces separated. I could probably do another AO with just the low poly to get some natural shadows. I'm using 3Ds Max 9, so I'm not even sure if real-time shadows are possible. cast shadows are on and I don't see an option for viewport lighting.

Ah, yes. For Max 9 the Xoliulshader doesn't work with shadows I think.

I guess I'll just have to do it in Unreal.

This screenshot is in Unreal 3. I want to eventually add water effects to the fountain.

Like the dirt effects you've added, its definitely coming along mate

Ok, so I added a water material to make it look a bit fancy. But the opacity for the middle texture seems to not be showing up.
