btw I have zero affiliation with this project and it appears to be some kind of a lazy cash grab given all of the AI generated assets surrounding it. probably skip this one
EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK - Liminal horror movie THE POOLROOMS is releasing December 25. Follows a teen trapped inside an impossible aquatic structure filled with endless swimming pools, towering waterslides, hidden chambers & mysterious passageways that seem to stretch on forever.

I’m on a discussion list and some artists are talking about optimizing for the platform’s (ig mostly) algorithm. I think most important thing to optimize for is what helps you grow as an artist, not focusing on likes and follows.

Here are some examples. Notice how they don't appear if using a large, diffused area light. But they will if you use a very small area light, akin to a flash on a camera.

Thanks to Cycles in Blender 3.3+, you no longer need to fake them. However, you can't use volume at the same time which is a bummer as it sells the depth of the water. Let me know if you know a way around that.
