Could someone please tell me what putting a camera into a hole underwater means, and how to make a shell Terrain. I am trying to follow a tutorial, but it doesn't explain how to accomplish these things. Please and Thank You!

you can do the shell terrain by applying a shell image to a terrain. you can make a hole in the ground through a +/- boolean and move the camera there (through the director's view). it would help if you provided a link to the tut and/or a screenshot of what you're doing. drac

Here is a link of the one that I am trying to make http://www.robinwood.com/Catalog/Technical/BryceTuts/BryceClasses/IBryce5/IBryceLesson5-5.html Thanks for your help

oh i see. well, follow the tutorial. it basically tells you to put a box or cube inside the water, and place the camera inside it once you've done a +/- boolean to them and grouped them. interesting site. the tuts aren't extremely detailed, but there's some interesting techniques. drac

The tut says "The water surface needs to have a Positive boolean, and the box needs a Negative boolean and the Null material we made before (so its surface won't interfere with your vision.) Group them to get the clear box for your camera; essentially a hole in the water. Put the camera into the hole." Im pretty sure it means that the water [which is positive] and the box[negative] once you group them it makes a hole in the terrain so basically the negative box cuts into the positive water which creates a "hole" and like it says put the camera where that negative box is. thats what i think.hope it helps??
