Originally posted by adldesigner How about using a field controlled by the boat itself to displace the water? I mean, grouping a field with the boat to act on the water too ... just as the one you are using now, but this one should only displace the water near the boat. That's exactly what I've tried. It's very hard to get the water to behave around the ship and that's why I was considering alternative methods. Gonna try to tweak the fields some more but if you have any other ideas I'd like to hear them...
