Introduction to Maya - Modeling Fundamentals Vol 1
This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

sea waves

I wan to make a sea environment, actually I did it, but I don’t know how to animate the waves.
If there is anyone to help me I’ll be glad to accept it.
Thanks,
Arthur.

On way of doing this would be turning the sea surface in to a soft body and control the waves with a turbulence field.

if you don't want too much geometry, you could also simulate this with a texture, although, up close, it'd be pretty obvious. Perhaps just for the distant parts of the ocean surface.
