Underwater

[Dune]

Just an intermezzo, checking out if upside down lake still works. The only problem I have is that the blue sky is not very visible, probably because it's much too distant.

Never tried this upside down but i like the result

Great underwater scenery

This is well done.  The only thing that stands out to me is that objects blur and fade quickly underwater, as they recede from the camera (looking at the fish)

[Dune]

Blurring crossed my mind, so I might pick that suggestion up. Too many fish anyway, it could be more subtle.

I was hoping for mermaids

Try pointing the camera up and see if you get the Snell's Window effect.

Don't see many images like this; and, the theme has many possibilities - like underwater ruins and sunken ships.

Good one Ulco.

[Dune]

Thanks.

[cyphyr]

Nicely done, less fish was a good choice.

Im seeing the Snell's Window effect now, which is cool. Is this done by simply raising the level of the lake over a standard scene until you get the effect you're looking for?  I suspect that with the ability to break out your render layers that one could make a pretty convincing underwater scene now.  This is interesting to me as I've rendered quite a few underwater scenes over the years professionally but never with terrain software.  The possibilities are potentially endless given some thought.

I like the last one.

[choronr]

This is impressive, a whole new world to explore.

Awesome mood/atmosphere in the second picture!

Just the plants are looking too big (like the fishes) against the boat in that low deep or the sunken boat seems too small right now Ulco (for me at last).
But I don't know the plants or fishes original sizes and their natural living space in all I have to admit.

Pls push and tune that one further as it may end up in an super under water reference scene..

I would like to see one or two of your underwater scenes, Greg. And this isn't done like you said. I don't think it'll work that way in TG. I had to fake it with a warped simple shape above the water (which I took out again here).

The boat, by the way, is quite small (5m), so for me the fish look quite alright. And as I said earlier, I like to check out stuff, and don't pay much attention to reality then. Just threw in some plants to make it nicer. If I were commissioned to do a reality scene, I'll certainly do that the way it should be done and do more research on relative sizes and species, etc.

The number 2 are very nice !!!
