Sea based building? As in a barge or as in sits on the sea floor?

Okay, I was wondering because if it was meant to float life was not going to go well for it, while on the sea floor or awash the outrigger design actually works well for stability. Looks interesting.

light bends differnetly under water. this is a bit moon-like.

I think the lightsafts (is that the proper term for those) are a bit too strong in the first 2 pics.

It's just as much about color as bending light. The color effect's you got with the painting filter are about right, but then you could resharpen. I think there's too much light, though.
Why is the light coming from inside the ocean from the side?
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

I thought that the first time I looked at it as well but then I noticed that the station ist not very deep and that the light does come from the surface. It´s not very clear though, and perhaps a different viewing angle would be better.
Otherwise I´d get a higher resolution texture for the sand or do just do it procedurally and add a caustics pass to the rendering. For the caustics just look up one of the gazillion under water scenes tutorials out there.
Nope, the only way that light source works is if the sea lab is on a downward slope.

just a (stupid) question but just how big is this thing suppose to be? After all the bigger the structure the more it should show in the lighting of the scene, including things like self-illumination.
atm it looks wierd cause the look of the structure and subs suggest a rather large scale but the lighting suggest a really tiny scale.

Yeah usually you would want to go smaller or thinner with the light effects coming through the water as something gets bigger.
It looks like a little model in a fish pond or a toy in one of those little plastic pools.
