I've uploaded an extended tutorial (start to finish style) of this that you can check out here:

I'm a huge horror movie addict. I've seen every shark movie there is. The number is in the hundreds. The budget of those movies are often minimal but even for those who had money to spend, I'd say you managed to make a more realistic underwater shot of a shark than 99% of them. I really wish you'd make more like this video. Some sort of a follow up. Great job, very inspiring and impressive!

1:28 Could someone please explain why my refraction shader appears black when viewed from below?

[MrReactric]

very good but I cant this tutorial. too fast

[vattron]

Finally someone who explains the WHY !!!
Most tutorials out there are just tells you straight up to add something without telling why and when to use that said thing.

Thank you for this subbed!

The underside of my plane is dark. Like from above it looks normal but from beneath its dark around the edges and only clear if you're looking straight up. Has anyone had a similar issue? Did I miss a step or something? I've spent a while trying a few different things with the lighting, the plane texture, and the world settings to try to resolve the issue but haven't had any luck yet. I also noticed that it only does this in cycles and not eevee. Is there something wrong with my render settings? I was hoping to do this render in cycles.

Really awesome. Looks fantastic without being overly complex and thank you for the "secret" detail of turning shadows off and the dark dome. I would never accidentally try these 2 specific things.

At the very beginning of the video I was like "Ah ok, I'll follow him on my machine" but after 20s I realize I dont know nothing.

[wildfighter]
