Danny, The splash will be a "brute force" type animaiton. Moving all those balls around is confusing at first. Thank 3DS for color selection sets. I'm still trying to figure out small ripples that indicate the gator's progress through the water. I'm about to put bones in the gator's head. I don't know scripting well enough to use that on the water. Somebody should come up with a bunch of cool water textures that animate…. I have tried the Mirage ipas, but its textures cannot emanate from a single point and then move across leaving waves behind. Lots to figure out. I will try metaballs for the long ripples. Sanford
