Darn, KeyShot caustics are just TOO much fun. :)

I used fractal noise for the water plane bump.
I put a point light (no IES) above the water surface and also one behind the orange ball to act as a fill light.
No HDRI. Really fast realtime rendering.

It's really amazing that just 1 year ago I didn't even dream of doing this in KeyShot...

It is good fun isn't it ... I am busy playing with IES at the moment but only have a few hours left on the demo license, I have asked to be a 4.2 beta tester but not heard from KS on that score ... :( but I will be posting a few renders and a link to a scene if you want to play with it later. I got my new chip installed yesterday too, 8 cores are more fun as well - lol Any way enough of me prattling on, good exercise and render again Dries, well done sir

I foresee some underwater shots coming soon....

Found some inspiration in GOLD from SX (Belgian indie pop band...).

The obligatory 'fish in tank' shot.
Fish model from GrabCAD.

a set of goggles and a well bitten flipper added to that scene would suit that grinning fish perfectly - lol

nice work again Dries

Maybe a chattering fish with few water bubbles:) Nice!

Are the ripples just simply a bump map? If bump maps like that affect the caustics then colour me impressed!

DriesV

Yes, the water geometry is a simple flat surface and the bump map is a procedural texture (fractal noise).

A bunch of GrabCAD fish is a (too tiny) tank.
A wonder who eats who first... :)

Just dimmed a few lights.
The only active light source in this shot is a point light that acts as the anglerfish's 'lure light' (+emissive sphere to make the light source visible).

These are insane!  Are you taking your meds?  Kidding aside, I doubt that even the Luxion Team realized where all of this would go.  Wow!

Would this work if the tank was clear glass and there was a backplate?

Dries, you are always taking it to the next level. I love it.

DriesV

Thanks, guys! ;)

It does work.
I used a solid color backplate (KeyShot library: electric blue) and a ground plane.
This was rendered in 15 minutes on 6 cores. Advanced settings: 32 samples, 16 ray bounces, anti aliasing 5, caustics 100. Not too shabby a performance, I think. :)
