Underwater lighting

I thought I'd play with the lighting underwater so I can make up my mind whether I want to keep the water or not. I do think the water works well with my model but I'm still going to think about it.

Creating a Flow Graph

I created my first flow graph to enable the stack of triangles to the right to move upwards 5 metres and it works!

Creating a spawning point

I was thinking about using a lot of rotation for my movement in my model. I want to try make the stacks of triangles move through the insides of the square parts of the models and have the square parts spinning around. I think the industrial sort of textures suit my model the best and will stick to those but continue to look for different options.
I also want to add much more lighting but keep it suttle and kind of hidden so I can have a lot but not so it washes everything out. Keepint the background very black would help bring out interesting shadows.

More trials and the 3 I would have liked to have used for Mid Review

 

 

 

 

 

These are the 3 I would have liked to pick for the mid review. They show good and different lighting and have different textures.

 

 

Mid Review

I was disappointed with my images I chose for mid review because I had only started to figure out how to play with lighting. I liked the angles I chose though. I want to try out different textures as well because I think the white cracks over the whole thing isn't interesting enough.

Adding lights

I also had trouble adding lights, I was following the tutorial but they wouldn't drag in, I finally got one to work and played with colour since my texture was white.

Adding textures

Finally figured out how to enlarge the textures
