Hi SWAMP,

Frankly, I don't know why your water exhibits such heavy tiling--see the image attached to my posting for a quick look on how it should look. Procedural textures tile automatically, or rather don't tile at all. ;) If you see reoccuring patterns, try different settings in the function editor, scale the texture, or change your POV.

For texture maps as in your second image, you'll need tileable, seamless textures. There's no other way to get around the repeated patterns. I'm sure there are some image editing tutorials around that explain the procedure to paint seamless textures in Photoshop or Paintshop Pro, for example. If you speak German, try the great tut I linked to in this posting.
