Greg, Gary is off on holiday for a few days, so a quick response from him is rather impossible at this time. For research for your article, experiment with the water.sxp from the Yost Group's IPAS boutique. Using it as a (water) bump map in a scene with a complete environment (read: a "sky" mesh), I've gotten some pretty decent water effects for a scan-line renderer. Automatic Flat Reflection and Shininess Mapping can make the effect all the more realistic. I could send you a tape showing this water effect if you wanted. Good luck on the article, -Alan
