Hi,
I floated my room and took some photos while swimming around. Hope you like it. Its all about atmospheric and harmony rather then just a "my first model" thread or somethings else.

youtube video (Sorry, its really bad quality)
Screens:



You can find more screenshots (including some older ones) here.

The plants are from loopix, the rocks and the submarine are from terminal26.de and the music in the video is from incompetech.com.

That's very cool - I like it. You should post it to the gallery.

That´s totally awesome!!
I like it^^.
It´s 100 times better than the Engine Demos.

wow, this totally kicks ass. and if a sentence like this comes from me, you know, i mean it this way. great shader and particle work. caustics, water surface, depth blur, shadowing/shading, light ray and surface effects are top notch. your video is really breathtaking, only thing i'd improve is the fish animation. other than that, your scene looks even better thn 98% of the made-with-maya/made-with-3ds-max under water scenes available on youtube. congrats!

ps: 17-35 fps... what's the worst framerate eater, which shader?

Absof**kinglutely amazing. I am now afk. Cleaning all the water puddles from my desk and keyboard. Guess my monitor wasn't a hundred percent leakproof. Forget about warehouse and venice. You're da man.

yesyes, this looks really great. you simply cant judge by the screenshots, but the video shows much better whats going on there. the volumetric effects are comming along very nice!

how did you get the seaweed(or whatever) to move like that.
Bones?

I think thats a shader too, hmmm...isn´t it the ATI Grass-sweaing shader??

Thanks for the kind words.
Yes the grass is animated with a vertex shader.

One frame consists of:

• 9-20ms: shadowmap rendering (though you don't really need to render this every frame, you can easily do this in 6ms on average)
  
• 7-16ms: depthmap rendering
  
• 2ms: rendering 1000 bubbles
  
• 0.1ms: final composing (bloom, blur, volumetric shadow)
  
• the rest is used for calculations and a6 rendering

The bottleneck in this scene is my submarine (the one with the big sphere), it has 10k polys, so when it get renders three time (shadow, depthmap, normal rendering) this is a remarkable slowdown.

The video just looks amazing, especially the light/shadows and DoF really look great. I think there could be a little bit more vegetation, but it looks great, anyway!
