Rep Power: 6 | Ouch. Unless you want to go with some sort of dynamic fluid system I would say that you would almost have to use a noise modifier and animate it over time to get the effect you wanted. Hope that helped ya. Later. |

Rep Power: 0 | Thanks for your reply. I found a good tutorial on animating the waves using a noise modifier. I may try using particles to model the water splashing, but other then that, I don't know. Where can I learn more about dynamic fluid systems? Thanks Pat |

Rep Power: 0 | Thanks for the interesting link. It provided some points that I hadn't thought of. Since part of my animation will foccus on the lake shore, it would look fake, if I animated ripples in the water, but forgot the tide. Thanks again. |
