Wow that water and sand texture look amazing for lighting effect what did you used emission or lamp or sun

hey jeff,

glad you like it!

the sand texture can be found at www.tutorialsforblender.com. the caustics are from Jos Stam, http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/~stam/reality/Research/PeriodicCaustics/index.html

the light setup is containing a sunlight, a spotlight with halo setup for the godrays and another spotlight projecting the caustics onto the seahorse. the caustics texture is also applied to the seabed mesh and “mist” setup in world properties has been used for the overall underwater look. pretty simple…

Thanks for the details I will try the textures and keep making that kind of animation
