Gary, –What an upgrade!… Man, all the new features are like a whole new program. I can't get over how powerful that h key is and IPAS is going to be a super tool. Anyway, I am working on an animation that has a boat (modelled in Acad) in the water. I started to paint and animate the water using AAP. Now I've got this new 3DSR2 wave generator. Is it meant to be used as a tool for creating realistic water? Do you have any ideas on different ways to create seas or oceans… maybe another IPAS app? I tried creating just one mesh with the wave gen. then copying and flipping it over then morphing between the two and that had some potential but I still haven't found the magic #s for the params. of that one mesh… or should I play it safe and continue with a 2D animation of the water. Very much open to suggestions. Thanks again for an incredible program –Frank
