Transparency possibilities

[Mohawk20]

I was just wondering... what is possible with the transparent water.

I'm rendereing a big scene now that will take a while to finish on both cores, so I can't test it myself, but what if If you have overhangs in the shape of a cave (as we've seen a lot lately), place a light inside it, and then raise the water above it... what would be visible?

You mean the light been underwater?!?!? If so, this is what I got:
*the camera is at 8m above the ground;
*the ground is flat;
*the light source is at 0.5m above the ground, it's strength is at 3.5 and
*the water is at at 4m above the ground.
The light source is underwater.
I put the sun at -25° below the horizon to simulate a completely dark cave.

Ooh, that looks quite promising!

Indeed it does...nice test.. ...

nice experiment...looks very promising!

Cool!

My idea also involved displaced terrain with overhangs under the water, but this proves a lot!
