Empty Beach: FINAL

[dhavalmistry]

this is my first try at fake transparent water technique using sonshine's way

I gotta get some more people on the beach!...

I am uploading the updated render for comparison.....I got the blue color right (I think)...I still need to work on the green color.....

added the final version for comparison....

[Oshyan]

Wow, nice one! I think maybe you should blend in some blue-green texturing for the underwater bit, but the scene as a whole looks nicely realistic already.

[dhavalmistry]

yeah thanx... I was trying that but I couldnt figureout how to apply a gradient to water colour.......

[nvseal]

Agree with Oshyan, but this does fantastic as is. Any chance for an HQ version?

Looking really lovely, very realistic, can almost see the shadow of the plane I do agree about the bluish/green for the near shore underwater texture, sorry, no idea how to do that though

You could do two surface shaders below the water level that have the bluish/green tones to them then render that as your underwater image. Don't get too bright, try to make it subtle. Just a thought

yes thats exactly what I thought too but thought of doing it in photoshop....but now that I think about it....it would be better if I did that in TG....will give it a try in morning....currently rendering an HQ version...

Cool job. Looks like some place I want to be.  Great.

UPDATED!!

Looking great, this is coming along very nicely. I'll have to get my head around this technique soon.

Looking great, but if that's sand on the beach then I would expect the water to appear lighter at the shore not darker. Keep up the good work!

[Seth]

i prefer the first one
in the second one, the blue is too.... errrr... blue.... i don't know if you understand what i mean ^^
but it's only a matter of personal taste

[rcallicotte]

I'm with Seth.  The water looks more natural (to me) on the first one.

[Mr_Lamppost]

I have to agree I prefer the first one.

Here's a stupid question:  I know it looks cool but can't we wait a couple of months for proper transparent water?  In the final version allegedly

P.S.  Nice work.
