Zippy253,Glengarry: Thank you! It's just that the water looks so static. To me, it looks more like "crushed up fabric". Sinv-jica: I'm sure this would work.... if I had the faintest idea what you are talking about... :) No, seriously - Do you mean to render several images with different water textures, and then put them together in Photoshop as different layers? Sorry if I sound dumb & thank you for your help & kind words! By the way, this is the final version of the image as far as rendering goes - Bryce (or Win95) ate it today and I can't open it anymore. :) Kathy
