Hi there!

Is there a way of setting up a physically correct ocean material that changes its color depending on dephts of surrounding geometry like islands and so on?
How should a material being set up correctly?

“Physically correct” is difficult due to the variations real ocean water has underneath. But the effects you describe can be done with VRayMtl’s fog.
