Lost Periscope

Made with Bryce

Created by Horo

Fascinated by Frozencry's ?Hidden Kingdom? because it shows two worlds: one underwater and one on the surface, I tried something of that kind using a periscope. There are 2 mirrors in the shaft, a lens on the surface side with a refraction index of 0.25 (25) and one on the underwater side of 3 (300). This makes sort of a wide angle image above that is magnified below. The plants are made with PlantStudio, the air bubbles are upside down conuses with a 1:10 ratio and a snow material. The round snowflakes have at least found a use as air bubbles. The land is the same terrain above and below (copy), but with the low part and high part cut accordingly and given different materials. The text was prepared with Elefont. The Bryce file is 56 MB due to the plants and the downloaded lighthouse which alone has 385'000 polygones (a bit of an overkill considering the size it appears).
