Well, let's somewhat better... (Although there's still no glassware.) It
seems just putting something *under* the water made all the difference.
(It's Stone8 from stones.inc. Unfortunately, it appears to have a
nonzero ambient setting. *sigh* So I will have to use some other texture
for the final render...)

You're getting there.
The color of water is determined by what's underneath it because water by
itself is colorless. Have a look at a swimmingpool :)

I have removed ALL ambient settings from all predefined textures. that way I
can control everything in the main file without having to worry about
textures being too bright.

That's better indeed :)
For the Stone8, why don't you copy and paste it in your pov scen so you can
change the finish settings?
And what is this strange square on the left?

Because, being a predefined texture, the parts that make it up are
actually declared in 12 seperate places and then gradually merged
together... heh.
By the way, forgot to mention... 9 hours + 50 minutes render time.
(Can't wait to do the radiosity version!)

I theorise it's something to do with the edge of my isosurface. The
water around the stone block is an isosurface, but the infinite stretch
of water in the background is a flat plane. That square is roughly on
the seam between the two...
Weirdly, I changed the ground texture and the square vanished. Go figure!

Oh sorry I forgot that, I didn't use predefined textures for a long time,
and now I remember that is one of the reasons :)

For the moment your scene does not need radiosity does it?

looks nice.
in my eyes water is too clean. maybe you try to add wrinkles on surface.
second suggestion: when I let fallen an cube into water I do not see one
concentric circle, I see four running away from every side of my cube.

texture {
T_Stone8
finish {ambient 0.005}
}
I do that every time I use one of the stone textures, or they end up glowing
too much.

Swimming pools are tricky to judge. Every one i've ever seen is *painted*
baby boy blue.
Water is colorless at the shallow depth that Orchid is rendering. However,
water absorbs light differentially by wavelength. Red is the first to go,
and green fades as you go deeper. If your body of water is deep enough, it
will show blue all by itself. (Otherwise, the oceans would be the color of
basalt and diatomaceous earth.)

It's a bit brute force but you can always do:
global_settings { ambient_light 0 }
Looking much better BTW. I suggest make the ripples smaller but nice work on
the materials :)

Before using that, make sure you don't want to see the sun. If you do, the
global ambient_light of 0 will make the sun (and reflections of it)
disappear.
