(PET) tool, randomly select vertexes, and move them up to model the
dunes of the ocean bed. Next, come out of edit mode, smooth using the
Tools
panel, and assign a
Subdivision Surface
modifier at level 2. Re-
name it
Ocean_bed
.
16. Add a cube, in edit mode subdivide it a couple of times (press
W
and go to
Subdivide Smooth
). In the
Proportional Editing
mode and by selecting
vertexes, quickly model a big round rock. Duplicate it three or four times,
rotating and scaling the copies and place them scattered on the ocean
bed.
Tip
As alternative, just open the
1301OS_05_underwater_start.blend
file and use the already
made scene (you, lazy ones!).
How to do it...
First, the easy steps, where we'll append already made materials to re-use them:
1. From the
1301OS_03_rock_procedural.blend
file, append the
Rock_procedural_01
material. Select the rocks and assign the just
appended material. Change the two
Diffuse
colors to
R 0.553
,
G 0.576
,
B 0.608
and
R 0.567
,
G 0.391
,
B 0.314
respectively.
2. From the
1301OS_03_ground.blend
file, append the
ground_01
ma-
terial, select the ocean bed and assign this material.
Now, to the more complex steps:
1. From the
1301OS_05_ocean.blend
file, append the
ocean_surface
material, select the ocean surface's cube and assign this material. Re-
name it as
ocean_surface_under
.
2. Go in edit mode, select only the upper faces of the ocean cube. Press
Crtl
+
I
to invert the selection. In the
Material
window under the
Proper-
ties
panel, click on the
+
icon on the right (
Add a new material slot
), re-
name the new material as
Null
(or whatever makes sense for you), and
