Making progress on underwater scenes ( but still more to come :) ) !

Original scan from @ariosgeo, and inspiration from Il Cristo degli Abissi, a submerged statue of Jesus in Italy.

Modeling:

  • The scan was remeshed with mmgs from 500k verts to 7k, keeping the face and hands at a higher resolution.
  • The ocean surface and ground were created with blender’s ocean modifier.
  • Light shafts are simply a randomized array of elongated planes.
  • The fish is a lowpoly model ( a 30s model ).
  • A particle system was created for fish instances, with force fields applied (boids physics, vortex, attraction force and collision on the statue)

Texturing/lighting:

  • Mix of concrete and coral on the statue
  • Sand on the ground
  • Nothing on the sea surface
  • Radial opacity for ground and surface
  • Voronoi textures baked as emission on the statue and the ground, to simulate the light deformation through water
  • Lots of color processing
