My project I am currently working on features a cylndrical fish aquarium with a diameter of 5.25 feet which is 14 feet high and from the ceiling of floor one to the middle of floor three. I was wondering what you guys thought would be the best way to create this and make it look like a real aquarium. I first tried to use a column and use a picture of a fish tank I found online but it stretched it so much and left dark black stripes on the column. I don't know if I am applying the picture using the wrong technique of if I should use something other than a column for the tank. If anyone has ideas or anything that may help that would be great. Thanks in advance.
A colum should work. Set the surfac to glass. Then use photo board (set to rotate) in the middle of it. Use a different location if necessary. You will have to get a tall image so that the proportions are right. It must be the height and diameter of the cylinder. This way the image should always face the camera and will appear to be inside a glass cylinder. It should look quite real.

thank you so much. what I tried before didn't work because I was tiling the column but using the "Override Tile Size" feature instead of the photo board idea. Thanks!
