Dear colleagues,
One of my students wants to model a swimming pool in Radiance. She is looking for a Radiance material model for the water surface (something similar to what Jack de Valpine has done for the rendering on the Radiance online web site). Has anybody modeled water in the past and is willing to share the model with us?

Hi Christoph,
I found this in the radiance-general archives, perhaps this would be of
some help:

Hi Christoph,
I used 'wave.cal' (material below) to model the pools for the "Foggo Atrium".

wave_z = wave_mag * noise3c(Px, Py, Pz);
wave_mag = min(A1, .5*Rdot);

Hi Chistoph,
Just to pitch in, I think that what we used for the image at Radiance online was the wave.cal in a texfunc applied to a glass surface (as John M. already suggested). The point was not so much about physical accuracy but to get something that "looked" like water.
