Jonas, I'm writing a story on how to make water. Could you give any and all leads you know regarding generating water. I put a message on the forum but got only one reply. But I'm sure someone out there must have made water w/ 3DS- besides myself. Also I've got a tight deadline, so a fast response would be gleefully appreciated. -Gregory

Hi Gregory, << Also I've got a tight deadline, so a fast response would be gleefully appreciated. >> I searched the library with a KEYWORD "WATER" and set the starting date to 1/1/95 and found several very interesting uploads involving Caustics, morph targets, anipro and several very good animations.. check out the abstract for each file.. jonas[adesk]

<< and set the starting date to 1/1/95 >> make that a starting date of 1/1/94..

Jonas, Thanks a lot. I'll look for it now. I have another question, however. What is the command for capturing screen shots? I've looked in the manuals but can't seem to find it. – Greogry

Hi Gregory, << What is the command for capturing screen shots? >> Check out.. File Info for R3HIDN.TXT Section: Autodesk 3D Studio Contributor: 76702,413 Size: 8971 Submitted: 12/15/93 Type: Text Accesses: 985 Title: Undocumented 3DS.SET parameters in 3DSr3. Keys: UNDOCUMENTED 3DS.SET PARAMATERS USEFUL IN 3D STUDIO RELEASE THREE This document describes 10 undocumented features in 3DSr3 that can be accessed via new commands in the 3DS.SET configuration file. Note that these commands are untested, and I make no guarantee that using them will not cause anomalous behaviour. However, 4-5 of them can be quite useful under certain circumstances (described in the text). – Gary Yost

Gregory, We just completed some animations on the america's cup for PBS, we managed to get some good looking water using a combination of sxps. I can't remember the settings, but I have them at the office, I'll email you a project file, and post it up here on the forum tomorow. Credit goes to Robert Quinn, one of my coworkers for coming up with the water texture. Yann Bertaud – MST, Autodesk.

Yann, That sounds great. I appreciate your help on this. – Gregory
