I think I will stick with the turtle
, if the water was deeper that would have worked, had only a little time to do the turtle (green sea turtle)...............dave

MrYeti im looking for a realistic look so have some work to do modelling and doing a better texture in mudbox, dustykhan I might put some jelly fish in as I think that is part of there diet ...............dave
Edit:I thought I might as well explain what I am doing with the texture you see on the turtle,all the projections were projected on to 1 file texture what I need to do is for each projection create a file texture so I can do some colour correction in photoshop

Im using the ocean shader so the answer to your question is probably not, I did try using photons to create the god rays but I did not get it to work at the moment I have 4 lights in the scene 1 area light with texture for the god rays on the sea bed, 1 area light as a fill light, I spot light with texture for the fog god rays and 1 fill spot light for the turtle. Bubbles yes. Any suggestions Genny you have for the ocean shader will be welcome.....................dave
