This Project was a very quick exercise I slid in while doing my bachelor’s thesis. On new year’s eve I was overcome by a bit of creativity and I just wanted to express myself and try if I could create a liminal pool since I’m quite fascinated by the concept of liminal spaces. I don’t remember exact timings, but the whole thing took just a few hours.

It was quite a quick iteration over the architecture, lighting and the textures. For the water and the plain tiles I used free textures I found (I’m not quite sure from where, sadly), but I had to adapt the floral tiles, since the original of those was basically just the color and not much more. 

Here is the final render, as well as a gif of the lighting iterations:
