Hi! This is my entry, some tests with my Unterseeboot 47 (with real camouflage). I based on Aj-press books while modeling and texturing process in Blender. Polys - 200 000
Sorry for small resolutions but on higher levels my GPU crashes with Octane.
I used demo version, what a pity it's not supports Bumpmaps, water surface looks very poor without them.
Inspiration? I'm a sea dog :D

By the way, I made some postpro on one render, I know this kind of postproduction is unacceptable in competition but I upload it beside the challenge.
Here is it(looks much more dynamic in my opinion) - http://img248.imageshack.us/i/u47octane.jpg/
