Tips on creating an underwater look?

How-To
1

I’m trying to create an underwater, ocean environment look. I’ve been playing around with lights and fog, but it’s still not looking oceanic.

If anyone has any tips or suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated! I’m a new user, been working in Notch for a few months now. Loving it.

Thanks,
Harry

Hi Harry,

Hi Adrien, thanks for your reply.

Here’s what I have so far: https://vimeo.com/366578346/dba356089a

And this is what I’m looking to create, with some movement of course; not completely still like an image.
I’d like the rays of light to move naturally maybe math modifiers controlling lights? :
