Stylized Underwater World With Blender, Substance 3D & UE5

Digital Artist at Probably Monsters Tyler Smith, who earlier this year showcased an impressive stylized coral reef diorama inspired by the tropical reefs of Indonesia and Thailand, continues to experiment with digital underwater worlds by unveiling one more incredible piece.

The artist's new project, dubbed Aquarium Tank, was created to better demonstrate the color and lighting of the sea life particle effect systems Tyler has developed.
