One of the things I'm most pleased with how it turned out in Ant Ausventure is the waterways, I went the Houdini sim route for the first time, and imported them as looping(almost) geometry caches, allowing me to easily get the realistic look I wanted.

One of the main cool things about Strata is that you can layer material properties and have it evaluate normal of all the layers, here the puddles have a flat reflection but we can still see the normal of the concrete below! super cool!
