I know you can do it, you have to be able too....I have updated to 4.06, just so you all know....and I wanted to do an underwater scene. Is there anyway you can view the camera while it is underwater....I keep loosing where it is unless I have it selected. What am I doing wrong...? Sharen If you don't answer back before shut down...catch you on the flip side

Sharen, sorry, but it was already too late. Go to FILE-->OPTIONS and uncheck STOP CAMERA GOING BELOW CLIPPING PLANE. Then you can move it under the water:-) Guitta

Create the Water plane. Left click on the Water plane in the World Browser, and drag it below the ground plane. This will make the ground plane the "clipping plane" again. And your camera will be visible in all views. Sam

That's right Sam. But often you don't use a ground in underwater images and give to the ground directly a water material. Then don't forget to uncheck in the options:-) Guitta
