Hey! I'm having an incredible learning experience, not only learning how Blender works (yes, still learning), but also about Open-Source and the incredible software available. Stick around!

Underwater compositing

September 2, 2015

Hey all!

As you all know, I've covered this topic quite extensively, but after the Anime Style Sea tutorials, I asked GOD what HE wanted me to do next and quite a few videos resulted, but this one is the only full tutorial that resulted so far:

(I think the thumbnail says it all, hahaha)

I have been working on an underwater result in compositing and design for quite some time and only this year really got the look down when GOD had me write a few posts on the various elements it takes to make the above result:

Have a great one!!
GOD bless!!
Thank YOU!!!!!

Colored photo

This is a public domain portrait of Jules Verne that I found on wikipedia. See here. Felix Nadar took it in 1878. The one I specifically used, was cleaned up a little (thanx to Quibik, Centpacrr and Jbcollins13 for all the enhancements!!)

First, the original, enhanced black and white photo:

And my colored version:

By no means perfect, as I don't know his actual skin tone or his eye...
