I box modeled two objects in the scene: the pointy puffer fish and the octopus. The anchor was modeled using image planes and then once I was finished, I realized it was missing the circular area on top so I combined them using a boolean. I bump mapped the material that was applied to the plane, and scaled it to the exact same size as the image that was tiled to give it a realistic bump effect that matched the material exactly. This was beyond the scope of the required project features and I think probably my favorite aspect of the scene. I also added fog and a slight film grain to increase the realism of an underwater scene. I used mult-sub-object material application on the eyes of the puffer fish. I created a metal-like material to apply to the anchor and lit the scene appropriately to show detail of the objects. I also added a few rocks to add interest to the scene.
