    I'm a huge horror movie addict. I've seen every shark movie there is. The number is in the hundreds. The budget of those movies are often minimal but even for those who had money to spend, I'd say you managed to make a more realistic underwater shot of a shark than 99% of them. I really wish you'd make more like this video. Some sort of a follow up. Great job, very inspiring and impressive!

    As of right now, Eevee isn't capable of accurately reproducing these effects. This ocean effect gimick in particular heavily relies on dense volumetrics and refractions, which is only possible by ray tracing within Cycles. How come you are strict on Eevee? I would encourage you to encoporate Cycles to your workflow if you desire realistic visualisations like this. Hardware shouldn't even be a limitation as Cycles today is incredibly efficient and powerful, I've done so much from just a laptop. Good luck out there!

    Great video, but two points of feedback. Lowering the focal length means increasing the FOV. Lower focal length = higher FOV = wide image. Also, to truly simulate an accurate underwater shot, you would have to simulate Shell’s window, which is the circular area of clarity seen when looking upwards from underwater, beyond which the surroundings reflect due to light refraction.

  • @Regoliste

    @Regoliste

    9 ай бұрын

    Great tips! Yeah I messed up the words of focal length with FOV so you got me there haha. And yeah I did briefly think about that 'area of clarity' that exists when looking near up, would have looked even better with it, but at the time it wasn't worth the effort to figure out how to apply such a tiny effect. And let's be honest here, this whole process is only a mockup and some cheap tricks to imitate the general stylization of real underwater footage, the effect can easily break but for the most part I think it works. If you want to get technical and explore true computational simulations of large scale water bodies I'd suggest looking into WetaFX and their impressive work on Avatar: The Way Of Water, which ofcourse in order to obtain truely accurate simulations, was generously backed up by an entire vfx house, millions in funding, thousands of industry setup GPUs and literally unprecendented simulation solving technology that accumulated up to 18.5 petabytes in data for the film, which sorta gives you an idea of the difficulty of recreating real life on our tiny computers hehe.

  • @Regoliste

    @Regoliste

    Жыл бұрын

    Yeah nodes are tricky! But once you understand how they work it will be immediately easy. Node based systems are similar to layer based systems you might be familiar to in photoshop for example. Except instead of multiple effects layers stacked on top of another, the layers are linked as a pipeline through different stages, from input to output. Shader Nodes control how a model looks and are basically combined operations of different effects and color inputs linked together to form one final material output. These inputs and effects can be transformed, mixed, mapped out and repurposed in any way we want. I found a good beginner tutorial by Brandon that's dedicated to explaining everything and should help you out: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iZtmlpayYsmfdto.html

    Easy! Make sure you enable the 'Copy Attributes Menu' Addon that comes with Blender already. Then it's literally as easy as copy pasting any other file, open shark blend, select the shark bone and mesh, Ctrl+C, go to underwater blend, Ctrl V, that's it, basically like appending but faster, hope this helps!
