This is actually my 1st underwater project using iclone ....

Beautiful! I wish I hear a sound of it though. Specially a transition, when camera emerges to the surface.

I like the underwater.

Hopefully we'll get Alembic import pretty soon for stuff like oceans.

Here is a concept I was playing with for tricking the renderer into letting me use a video in the displacement channel. It doesn't light quite properly, but you might enjoy playing with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80L6KQbsFV0

A very good sequence!

 Nice tutorial... but for a program that costs money' it should at least make water like a free program blender.

Its the one feature people like to use a lot' water physics

Real nice made underwater sequence, Kevin. I wish I would already be so good with my stuff. Still Practicing and learning. I think the dive up might be a little to fast for my taste, but that also is a matter of what the sequence is for. The water is not to bad, I SAW WORSE... 

So.... combining what I was doing with the video displacement, and having the default water just underneath using the same normal map, I was able to effectively get both waves and reflection. Note how the waves are actually displaced inside the bowl vs only bump map outside the bowl.

The default water is the only "proper "reflection plain.

Ya i have always tried to avoid using water in iclone its so limited, I like what you did but if i want to make a river and have water flow over rocks etc its near impossible or a beach with rolling waves hitting the shoreline.Hopefully they will improve it in a later version


When it comes to water I normally use a plane, like in this video I made with water falls, the water falls are actually green screen transparent videos I made.

Kevin, your nature scenes look about as good as possible in iClone.

A fluid sim would be nice. We'll see what iClone 7 delivers. I'm hoping several basic systems will get overhauled, besides the update for PBR rendering.

It's one of the things missing from iClone, to interact with fluids
