Seaweed

[Leo73]

There's a decent tutoria on www.3dcafe.com concerning underwater scenes

Hope that helps

Sounds like a tall order for tomorrow...

A lot of it will depend on the distance it needs to be viewed at, but for some quick seaweed, you could try a double sided plane, with a twist modifier & a noise modifier. Pass a ripple spacewarp over the lot & it could pass for seaweed.

A tubeworm could be a tube, noise modifier & meshsmooth.

Squid & jellyfish could be more difficult. I'm in the middle of a jellyfish anim (in progress QT below) the tentacles are all done with Simcloth - it takes ages though. Before I did that, I had some OK results from a static ripple spacewarp, & the flex modifier

The jellyfish body was just done with a lathed spline, the CV's of which are animated in a loop.

and there is a tutorial over at 3dbuzz that deals with an underwater scene, but i guess that deals more with your friends part :shrug:
