Underwater, Jan Medina (3D)

looks pretty good! I think everything is fine, nitpicking: I would love to see if you really captured the beauty of the sea. Underwater places like this should have colors everywhere, not just a blue hue. Colorful animals, plantlife, etc. It would make this scene a ton better than it already is and this is already a great pic. Keep up the good work, I really like it!

looks good ,1 crit :where are the air bubbles the diver exhale

[GoranNF]

Very nice.I think that the legs are too long and it could be more blueish ( i mean the overall image).Good job

[macsupremacist]

Really nice! I really like the diver. The only thing I would do is maybe put in some visible light rays.

Just one thing, how about Jaws comes and ripps the diver to shreds man that would be greeaaaaaaaaaaatttttt!!! ...... But Thats Just Me, I have a Jaws Fever:scream:

I agree with NsiderN, if this is meant to be the Great Barrier Reef then the water should have a larger variety of colurs to capture the underwater beauty with some light rays.

Mabey get photographs of coral and map them onto your geometry with a subtle displacementmap or a bump map:shrug:

The rocks, the ship and sand bed look great

The diver is great:buttrock:

Very nice work and good luck :thumbsup:

Actually, thats completely wrong as the coloured light is filtered out the deeper you go; red goes first then orange, yellow, green and so on. Hardly any dive gear is red, thats because it looks brown underwater. Its all to do with the wavelength of different colours of light. Stick to your blue hues. You do get more colourful scenes in the shallows but this scene isn't shallow.

One crit I would make is that your visibilty is way too good. Add some more fog type effect to represent all the particles suspended in the water, that would really start to make it realistic. 15 metres would be considered good visibilty in diving. A bit more ambient light would help too.

One other observation would be that the exhaled bubbles would get bigger as they rise.

Cool! Looks like you had fun doing these
