Description

VUE Pro - No Postwork. I wanted to see if I could do a pure VUE scene with no postwork. Getting the lighting, Depth of Field and ambient/diffuse settings for the objects was a real challenge. The coral and plants are all from VUE with my own texture mods. The nurse sharks, Manta Ray, Urchin, Fish, and star fish are from RDNA Sea Critters collection.

I am unsure that the reflection of the Manta ray should be there (at the bottom layer of the surface water). Otherwise very nice and the lighting is great.

I debated on whether to leave the manta ray reflection in. It detracts from the realism somewhat but I thought it looked cool - especially the tail part

Very realistic underwater scene. And with the shallow water, I would think you WOULD see the shadowing. This would look great as a wallpaper. Well done!

Very nice underwater scene, just one thing, the manta ray is swimming upside down, maybe that was the intention but in my opinion it looks a little off given the shallow water. Otherwise, fantastic textures work with the coral and vegetation.
