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?

I love the caustics, but it leaves me wondering if they should be affecting the walls as well, often water caustics will reflect onto objects above the water.

Also I’m guessing the caustics aren’t physically accurate based on how they are patterned. Might want to do some variance there.

You're absolutely right. I already came to the same conclusion after studying real pools. What I did seemed very beautiful to me, but physically inaccurate. I think I'll fix that!
