Description
This will probably be the last for a while. still needs a LOT of work.
I've never tried to render water caustics, so if any of you have recipes for this I'd appreciate your help.
This is pretty close to what the final version will look like: a few problems with scale, but getting close.
Thanks for looking. Suggestions?

Very Cool lighting effect.
I really like all of the little details you have on this. It looks so cool! I'm not sure what to suggest about the under-water effect, since I've never used Carrara. The only other thing I can think of is maybe adding some wear and dirt to the hull? Kinda small thing, especially considering how awesome this model looks!
Looks good from here. Don't know too much about underwater effects in Cararra yet. Just started working with it. Realistic water in Cararra is one thing I will be needing for several scenes I want to set up.
Great looking model. Nice progress! I don't know to much about caustics but there is a preset in Carrara for it! One thing I do know is it will increase the render time a lot!
Looking good. I love this model. personally I find that reducing the caustic filter size to 1 or 2% makes a nice pattern. I'm assuming you're projecting a light through an ocean? That's how I did it. but you can do it with spot light gel too.
Nice model, only two suggestion tilt the ship to match the rudder and get rid of the life boats they would rupture at that depth.
Nicely done.
Great!!!!!
I love the little details on this. A bit of fog and gel on the lights are a good cheat for caustics.
