    under each side of those stairs looks like a good spot for doors, one out other to the loos.

    perhaps enough polys to edit with geometry editor tool too if sticking a loose doorframe in, would have a back for passages.

    It is a "set" after all, like a stage set. Unless you really need the one scene of everybody entering the pool area from outside I don't see an issue with this. It has a lot of great angles for poolside and in the pool shots, the primary thing you want in a pool model.

    Guess the bathroom thing as in few restroom facilities is partly due to that fictional characters do not have to use the restroom. Probably because they do not eat the food they do not pay for.  Something my mum noticed that the characters order food but leave without paying.  Usually without eating food.  If they do start eating they rarely finish.

    looks great though.   Guess 3D figures do not use the bathroom because they cannot eat so that might explain why they are usually thin.

    Some people may want that one scene.  Or perhaps they're working on a comic or an animation, and need any given room to be believable in 360 degrees, because they don't know what angle they're going to be using it from (or even possibly all angles).

    It's a beautiful set, yes.  And if circumstances are such that I need it, I will buy it.  But the odds of it fitting the "need" category go down when there are elements like doors that could, in theory, lead to the rest of the building, are missing and will need me to kitbash something on there.  I'm less likely to try to find a reason to get this one in particular, and more likely to look at another set that has those elements.  Especially if everything else (Price, discount (if any), and aesthetic suitability to what I want to do) is the same.

    Doesn't look like any "public" pool I've seen. But then, I'm from NY, there really isn't any need for that high diving thing.  Also, pools here are mostly outdoor pools anyway

    there was a twilight zone episode, pool lead to another dimension.

    I've noticed the leaving without paying thing too, as well as characters approaching the bar and asking for 'a pint' and immediately being served with one. A pint of what? Mind-reading bar staff for the win.

    I agree about wanting a product that looks realistic from all angles, and some fall a lot shorter in that department than the public pool does. The alleged 'regency' cottage without a chimney comes to mind - something that's about as likely as a Jane Austen novel featuring radiators and a combi-boiler.

    It's a more common design to find in Europe... here's a pretty similar pool in France, for example:  http://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-france-paris-glass-roof-of-the-swimming-pool-of-pontoise-street-35354867.html

    found one in Melbourne too but it has an exit wink

    It reminds me a lot of the old Victorian swimming baths where we had our school swimming lessons, sadly demolished years ago along with an entire community in favour of a load of ugly tower blocks that no one wants to live in.

    ...thinking of using this for the natatorium on the Grande estate. In the story, Lady Meg was a world class swimmer who earlier in her life won several Olympic gold medals. Need to give it a little more of an Art Deco treatment but love the stained glass along the sides.

    How can it be a trap if you can't get in???

    Anyways, lack of an entrance or exit wouldn't affect my decision to buy it.

    Maybe it is for x-men like Kurt Wagner or Kitty Pride or other superpowered who do not need doors.

    A lack of realism can be seen a fair bit of stuff sold here.. The aforementioned cuffs, the lack of doors, etc.. I have seen  a zip up leather jacket that is partially unzipped, with NO zipper pull, a car ferry that you probably couldn't drive onto (and would most likely capsize if you did get one loaded, etc.. Sometimes one wonders if the creators did enough research..(or any at all, the school of "OH that looks OK" design")

    I'm not complaining, as there are plenty of well done bits for sale, just pointing out that some things are a bit curious...

    BTW, if you are going to be rendering a Pool Trap, I do have a bathinsuit that might be useful.
