True Chirone, the others are just across the waters really... Not sure about using the skydome technique, I put one over it a couple of days ago and maya crashed more than once when I tried rendering, think I had a few more polys than my Pc agrees with! May try out the fluids thing then, but it seems if I add anything more than a couple of hundred polys more my Pc just can't handle it, may stick with the env. shader or use as background in physical sun as they are the only two that will work. Here's hoping something does!

Speaking of functional features I forgot I meant to put drainpipes in.... Hope My Pc can handle that.... :p
