Hi K6Rendering
thank you so much for the answers. I will go through them in greater detail later on when I am in front of my main PC.
regarding the shower, I just love your example and it looks so realistic too! this is exactly what I had in mind to plan but couldn't find my way around doing it. How did you create the shower glasses?? they look excellently real...
Also how is it possible to design a wal in different patterns like you did there: lower 2/3 of wall with different tiles, then separation with other type of tile and then finally the upper 1/3 with yet another type of tiles?...
Thanks.
