Bryce 7.1 Pro - underwater effect tutorial
Anyone who has been following my trials over at the DAZ forum http://www.daz3d.com/forums/viewthread/8903/ will see I've been banging my head against this challenge for a while. Here is the video behind this scene <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js9sZZEpZrM" target="-blank">Bryce 25 minute lighting project - advanced underwater effects - a tutorial by David Brinnen</a> The statues came from the Stanford scanning repository.

Thank you Rashad, Richter, I confess I was pleased to get this effect in one video take. The overhead on rendering is quite large as you might expect from such a mix of premium effects and volumetric materials but for such high praise from what I consider to be some of the best judges of Bryce artworks around, I am happy to let my computer labour.
Really really nice, David. There's the dof, some noise, the water "surface" is great, bubbles do look different. I vote top marks, beautiful underwater scene.
Absolutely STUNNING! Pretty much one of the best underwater scenes I've ever seen from Bryce. Really raises the bar on underwater scenes. Brilliant, as usual.
Thank you Horo, yes I was lucky with my choice of caustic gel from Genetica. Although I don't use Genetica daily, I don't regret buying it.
This one turned out excellent. I like the little detail of coluor rainbows on the foreground statue. 5/5
Thank you Alexey, feel free to contact me if you cannot make sense of the video - I know the language is a barrier but I could send you example scenes if that was helpful for example.
* Very impressive scene. I only once took on an underwater theme. By all means I will use your lesson.
