Its been a while since i saw some artists do some kind of photomanipulation where an image would appear above and below water. So i thought i should try and do that in vue and i cant say it was easy... It still needs work so any comments or tips are welcome.
Nice start so far. I think you could probably use a cube with a wave surface to it and then view it from the edge to give it the bluish/greenish color you are looking for in real water. Then put some caustics in there and you should be good.
Actually i am using what you said, a big cube with water texture and displacement on, the camera is barely on the edge, i tried giving that bluish/greenish color on a previous version but didnt turn out too good . Anyway thanks for the tips i managed to found some tutorials as well, i am currently rendering the same scene on a bigger resolution its half way done it would be pitty to stop it now
