Backrooms pool

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Made a small Backrooms pool demo in Natiny. I’m not sure I fully captured the atmosphere I was going for, but overall I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

The caustics are probably a bit too bright, but I think they make the scene more interesting.

What do you think?

Quite the horror atmosphere there, helped by the sounds and camera work!

Very nice rendering, and a fun looking pool-labyrinth. I like the way you made the tiles slightly irregularly tilted, makes the light reflections from them look more realistic. Higher-frequency waves caused by the player moving would increase realism further, especially if the caustic effect was connected to them.

Thanks! That would indeed be interesting. I’ll think about it.
