re:"I have been trying to create convincing water. I can get the wave texture in Character to look like ripples in a pond, (which, by the way, looks great) but I can't get the real random look that happens on a lake. (i.e. the user shouldn't be able to see where the source of the ripples are.) Does anyone know the trick?" You need to have multiple wave sources (I think I used all five), set at different levels of excitement. This will give you the random look you're after. Gavin.
