Stormy Reef: A 3D Underwater Coral Scene

Ultra-detailed 3D render of a tropical coral reef during a fierce storm. The scene is underwater with turbulent currents, rain splashing on the surface above. Sunbeams pierce the turquoise water in dramatic volumetric shafts, caustics dancing on vivid corals. A reef wall rich with brain coral, branching staghorn, sea fans and soft corals sways under the wind, while schools of small fish, shrimp, and drifting plankton swirl in the current. Particles and bubbles float through a richly textured underwater environment, with wet rock, algae, and sand providing realistic detail. The camera is low at the sea floor, looking up toward the dark storm clouds above, with hyper-real lighting and high dynamic range to capture mood and depth.
