This animation was done with Blender 3D.

Hi Simpo.
Cute animation Smile
The only critique I would like to make at this point is that that the fake "caustic effect" is only on the background. All the other objects are missing it somehow. I don't know how to do it in blender but in 3ds max I would have projected it from a light.

Is it possible to add a procedural texture map to a light in blender?

Besides what was said by dTb the small blue object intersects the land surface several times. I like the music and the dynamics of this animation.

Thanks for the comments..

Sorry for the late reply.

I think it is possible to project the fake caustics from a light source in Blender. However, i did not get the desired result with it. .. So i took the easy way out Wink

Why what was the problem? I think that a caustic on the fish would make it look more realistic. Plus some atmosphere like fog would be great for this scene.

Nice work on the environment and fish. The animation is pretty good. I feel that the side fins and the tail might be a little too quick and robotic, but again it's very difficult to animate a real effective fish. Overall good work?

Trax is right. It's Fins looks like robotic and a bit quick. The right fin of the fish sometimes disappears because of the speed. I recommend you slow down the movement of the fin.
