Well I am tryoing to make an ocean scene,I have a lovely wave like nurb pane within a skybox and am using a water (glass shader) with changes liek coloration and so on but is there a way to animate(I know there is) the waves with white cpas and so on without maya fluid ?(I ahev the LP edition) I am tying to perfect the water shader and do the bump maping for the ripples but would love a second or so of waves like in a storm. I ma not that expeirenced but would like to try to do this. Thanks Josh
