The final scene from Archinteriors vol. 63, rendered in V-Ray, modeled and designed in 3ds Max.

The scene in 3ds max viewport.

And a view from a camera.

Water material is rather simple - it is a transparent material with proper IOR value and bumpiness that simulates waves.

Roof layers. - the top layer blocks the exterior lighting, the next one is for details of the ceiling and wooden beams function as construction elements and decoration.

Roof construction.

The whole building in 3ds max viewport.

A detail of a construction beam.

One of the most visible materials is a tiled wet floor of a swimming pool.

It is a diffuse map for tiles.

And here we have a roughness map. Black spots are puddles and increased wetness areas. We also increased wetness of some random tiles for better photorealism.

We used a dome light for exterior lighting that comes through light portals placed in windows.
