@theluthier Thanks for the input Kent, yeah the wood on the chest was kind of deliberate choice, as i didn’t want the wood to be lacquered having been in the ocean i wanted it to be pretty diffuse, the metal I agree, i struggled to get the right level of reflection I didn’t want it to be too shiny but i probably under did it overall
The biggest question I have though is what’s on the floor board. Right now it reads more like paint, but if it’s supposed to be water
Yeah it was supposed to be water like a puddle, I really struggled with this and I couldn’t put my finger on what was wrong with it but now you have said it, it does look like paint. It was a mixture of your tutorial in the Treasure Chest course and one of Andrew Price’s on Puddles in Blender, i could not for the life of me get this to work together and one is probably overiding the other.
Would you be willing to let me download your final .blend to possibly mess around with the material during the stream tomorrow?
Of course that would be great, any insight into this process would be greatly appreciated. Here is the the link:

Please let me know if there is any problem downloading the link.
Close up of the wood grain which i feel could do with some better definition and the scratches
