Hi danamo, yes, you'd have to animate a terrain over time to get "big" rolling waves animated convincingly. Vue doesn't support displacement mapping (yet? ;=) ), hence you can't do it with a procedural texture. As Pete said, mind, with lots of fine-tuning and work, you will get quite good results--certainly better than the Pixel Shader Test in 3DMark2001. ta, -Sascha.rb
