    How would I do an underwater effect like this:

    This is my underwater effect:


    As you can see the underwater effect in the first image (Far Sky) is much nicer because of the fog/background. How would I be able to achieve a fog/background effect like the one in the first image?

    Thank You!

    If you work with the Deferred rendering path you can use the Global Fog effect. In Forward, use the Lighting Window (look for the Scene tab, you'll find Fog settings there).

    Yea, for the godrays what I've done is use a textured billboard with the additive shader, it work quite well and potrays a godray effect (It also randomly moves in a wave like fashion via a C# script). For the rest I've made use of ambient lighting and fog.

    How did you create that water light in the seabed? Is it a light cookie or a seconday detail texture?
