This is a neat little sculpture I created using Cinema 4D. I started with only a cube and a plane, and with some extrusion and shaders ended up with the basic structure of the water and the ground. I then created a nice light aqua glass texture for the water and a concrete texture with a bump map for the concrete. I added in a basic 3 point lighting system, and using caustics with a very high render setting, I was able to get the striped light effects you see on the floor and within the water.
