Ships underwater lights?

[Prettypicturegirl]

Hi,

anybody here has some thoughts on about how to best achieve this sort of underwater lighting effect?

Thanks for your thoughts.

I did find some stuff on lights in underwater scenes, but thats not the same…

hi there

what you can try is to apply roughness and apply clearcoat and set clearcoat-roughness to very low.
full transmission 100 %

maybe that’s not the best way to go about but roughness scatters the light like shown in the picture above

I use PBSDF for that

What you need is a thing called volumetric lights.
