Thank you Tim!! Indeed, there is still a lot to tweak/change, especially the
textures (not always my strongest point). Still not happy with the walls and
ceiling. I have been putting my thoughts to the glass, because something
should be done there. Still not sure what I want, but I'll come up with
something. I was thinking about adding some cracks in the glass too...

The water plane I think about should be invisible because there is already
the water from the background image. So, it just serves for reflections on
the ceiling. I shall have to experiment a bit. The two-pass method will be
best here I think. Thanks for your warning about the size of the water
plane. That might be essential.
