Underwater shading

I was in Warsaw ZOO today and I found something that truly amazed me as graphics programmer.

Sharky

Apart from realistic fluid simulation, do you see those wonderful god rays? And marvelous caustics everywhere? Let alone color balance, postprocessing is also first class. And seeing manta rays flying like they were in the air, not water... It makes me want to write suitable 3D demo :)

    Yeah... underwater environment is truly amazing. Play of light, god rays, caustics, etc... it's all amazing... but it's even better when you descend by the line and suddenly you start to see silhouette of the wreck... it becomes more and more visible with every meter and then... you see it whole... a good material for a graphics demo :)
