Walt, Your model and renders just keep getting better and better.. :gj:

Curious how you handled the "sky" panels above the lap pool. Just straight image, lights in space above.... ?

Thanks They are a cloud texture set to be a fake emitter. Fletch commented on it here. viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5704

it is a nice image.
The white ball ceiling lights need to be lighter (try fake emitter material, just like you did with the clouds).
The pool water does not look like pool water. it's far too bumpy... should be clear.
Work with exposure of image after rendering is complete to improve the tone mapping - the sky outside should be much brighter, and the sun hitting the floor/columns/surfaces inside the space should be much brighter.

@ Fletch I appreciate the C&C because I'm really ignorant about some of this.

1. the lights are fake emitters 40 Watts so your saying they should be more like 60 or more?

2. About the water I watched the Quick Start Video on Youtube when he's taking about the water but after reading this viewtopic.php?f=12&t=5626 the water materials don't automatically render as stated so but if I apply a Liquid/water template I get the result pictured below. Doesn't look like water pool light to me.

I found the alpha setting and became a little clearer. This is what I got from the video.

This should be useful to you, Casy Neistat a youtube blogger was at the hotel recently and videoed a fair bit of it:

He's been there before but not so much footage of the hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wR1sdVbrnDg

Found another one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0clN1RPRQY
The 1st and 3rd ones have lots of drone fottage

Thanks for the video links Paul. It was kinda cool to see so much more of the hotel especially his use of the drone camera. I had contacted the hotel some time back to see if I could get an employee/ amateur photographer to take some photos for me but never heard back from them.
I have literally short of 100 pics some are screenshots from videos I watched, but it's always good to see more. Muchas gracias as we say in New Mexico.
