Jeremy White shared this incredibly realistic video of a swimming crocodile - all made in Blender!
This fluid simulation was crafted entirely in Blender using the Flip Fluids add-on and simulated on an Intel Xeon workstation. The trees and shrubs were designed with the Grove add-on, while the rocks and grass were generated using GeoScatter, with materials sourced from Quixel Megascans.
The underwater caustics were achieved by applying a water caustic image sequence to the transparency of the water shader’s shadows. For the volumetric water scattering, the newly added Fournier-Forand phase function was utilized, creating realistic underwater god rays.
